Creator's Key Takeaways

One of the world's major cruise lines has just cancelled an entire season of sailings.

That's right, for the first time ever, there will be four MSC ships homeporting in Miami at the same time.

The ship will be offering a variety of six and eight night cruises, each packed with incredible destinations and unforgettable experiences.

MSC is offering several options to make things right. They understand how disappointing it can be to have your vacation plans changed.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Double-check your plans if you were booked on MSC Meraviglia out of New York between November 2026 and April 2027.
Consider rebooking on one of Meraviglia's new Miami itineraries for a different departure port and destinations.
If Miami doesn't work, switch to another 7-night cruise from Miami, Port Canaveral, or Galveston.
Opt for a cruise credit or full refund if you'd rather not rebook.

YouTube Video Description

MSC Cruises canceled around six months of cruises. The cruise line scrapped planned sailings between Nov. 8, 2026, and April 11, 2027, on its MSC Meraviglia ship, and the vessel will spend its winter 2026-2027 season in Miami rather than New York. “In response to the demand we are seeing, this will mark the first season with four ships homeporting in Miami, as MSC Meraviglia joins MSC World America, MSC Poesia, and MSC Seaside,” the cruise line told USA TODAY in an emailed statement. “All four ships will sail from our new, state-of-the-art MSC Cruise Terminal at PortMiami, offering an exciting mix of newly introduced sailings and guest-favorite itineraries to the Caribbean and The Bahamas.” The ship will sail six-and-eight-night cruises with stops in Turks and Caicos, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and more, the company said. Impacted guests were given multiple options, including rebooking on one of Meraviglia's new cruises from Miami – or any seven-night sailing from Miami, Port Canaveral or Galveston, Texas – or opting for a future cruise credit or refund.
