MSC Cruises' MSC World America will "revamp family cruising" with new activities and spaces, including new programs and facilities developed in partnership with the LEGO Group. The ultra-modern flagship will offer seven distinct districts when it enters service in April 2025, each bringing together a range of tailored experiences, with Family Aventura set to become the go-to destination for kids and family fun around the clock.

Activities waiting to be discovered include:
