PARIS — Two more ships are on the way for MSC Cruises.

The two vessels, part of MSC’s World Class series, are now on the books with French ship builder Chantiers de l’Atlantique.

Once delivered, the new ships will bring the number of World Class ships in MSC Cruises’ fleet to six. The new ships will join MSC World Europa and MSC World America (both already in service) along with MSC World Asia (2026) and MSC World Atlantic (2027). The two new ordered vessels – currently referred to as World Class 5 and 6 – will be delivered in 2029 and 2030.

“The confirmation of the orders for the two new World Class ships marks a new milestone in our remarkable journey of shipbuilding in France and the continuation of our long-term industrial plan,” said Pierfrancesco Vago, Executive Chairman, MSC Cruises.

“This milestone underscores our commitment to building some of the highest performing ships in the world, creating a legacy of excellence and innovation in collaboration with the Chantiers de l’Atlantique – our long-term partners of more than 20 years. The highly successful World Class platform combines the very best in environmental technology with the latest advancements in guest experiences,” he added.
