MSC Cruises has once again pushed the boundaries of onboard entertainment with the unveiling of Cliffhanger, the only over-water swing ride at sea. Scheduled to debut exclusively aboard MSC World America in April 2025, this adrenaline-pumping attraction promises to redefine the cruise experience for thrill-seekers worldwide.
Perched atop the ship’s deck, nestled within the vibrant ambiance of the Family Aventura district, Cliffhanger offers a heart-pounding adventure unlike any other. The ride’s four seats initially hover close to the deck before powered arms elevate them into position—high above the edge of the ship. From there, riders are propelled back and forth, suspended 50 meters above the ocean, with nothing but the open sky and endless sea below. As guests soar through the air, they’ll feel the rush of wind against their skin and witness breathtaking views that oscillate between the waterline and the vast expanse of the sky above.
MSC World America, poised to become MSC Cruises’ newest U.S. flagship, will set sail from PortMiami on April 9, 2025, promising passengers an unparalleled cruising experience. With seven distinct districts to explore, each offering its own unique atmosphere, facilities, and experiences, guests of all ages will find themselves immersed in a world of adventure and relaxation.
During its inaugural season, MSC World America will embark on 7-night itineraries from Miami, venturing to some of the most coveted destinations in the Eastern and Western Caribbean. Every voyage includes stops at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve—a pristine private island paradise in The Bahamas, ensuring guests can bask in the beauty of the Caribbean’s turquoise waters and white sandy beaches.
But the allure of MSC World America extends beyond its entertainment and destinations. With a steadfast commitment to sustainability, the ship is designed to minimize its environmental footprint. Powered by LNG, a lower-emission fuel, and equipped for future integration of renewable energy sources, MSC World America represents a significant step towards eco-conscious cruising. Additionally, shore power connectivity reduces emissions in port, while smart technology optimizes energy and water usage throughout the ship. Furthermore, an onboard recycling program ensures minimal waste generation, while noise-reducing propellers safeguard marine life.
For those eager to embark on an unforgettable journey filled with excitement, relaxation, and environmental responsibility, MSC World America beckons. Book your adventure today and be among the first to experience the thrill of Cliffhanger, setting sail aboard the newest icon of cruising excellence.
