19-Deck Cruise Ship as Long as Eiffel Tower Is High Makes New Home in Brooklyn
Nyc becomes msc cruises' third u.s. homeport, allowing the cruise line to offer year-round sailings from the northeast for the first time, by nbc new york staff • published april 21, 2023 • updated on april 21, 2023 at 3:04 pm.
The world's third-largest and fastest-growing cruise line, as MSC Cruises describes itself, sailed into New York City's Brooklyn Cruise Terminal this week with a glamorous megaship offering year-round excursions to select destinations.
MSC Meraviglia, a 1,036-foot long (France's Eiffel Tower is 1,083 feet high, and only if you include the tip), 213-foot-tall, 19-deck floater capable of holding more than 5,700 guests is a vacation in its own right, the cruise line says.
Fortunately, it will also take you from Brooklyn to a number of (warmer) locations. Not all options will be available immediately. Find the list of itineraries and start dates at the bottom of this page from MSC Cruises.

Cruise from the Big Apple to the Caribbean: MSC Cruises launches year-round service from NY
![msc cruises from brooklyn ny Portrait of Nathan Diller](https://www.usatoday.com/gcdn/presto/2022/07/06/USAT/812613b9-57d6-4d59-92a2-fa549cc62552-Diller_Nathan.jpg?crop=179,179,x0,y0&width=48&height=48&format=pjpg&auto=webp)
Start spreading the news: MSC Cruises launched year-round service from New York over the weekend, marking the line's third U.S. home port.
The cruise line's MSC Meraviglia ship arrived at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal Thursday and set sail Saturday on a week-long round-trip cruise to Florida's Port Canaveral and the Bahamas. MSC also has home ports in Port Canaveral and Miami.
“When we chose New York as the next step in our North American expansion, we knew that MSC Meraviglia would be the perfect ship, given her versatility and offerings for a wide variety of climates," MSC Cruises USA President Rubén Rodríguez said in a news release . "She’s big and innovative, she offers something for everyone, and now she’s more accessible than ever for our guests in and around New York."

Where will MSC Meraviglia sail from New York?
Meraviglia will sail several itineraries from New York, starting with seven to 11-night voyages to the Bahamas and Florida, with destinations such as Miami, Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico, and Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve (the line's private island).
Travelers can also board the ship for five and six-night sailings to Bermuda beginning in August and 10 and 11-night voyages that visit places like Boston, Massachusetts, Portland, Maine and Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island in Canada, among others.
Meraviglia launched in 2017 and can accommodate more than 5,700 passengers. The vessel also has 12 restaurants and 20 bars, along with six pools, a bowling alley, a spa and other amenities.
Guests will also be treated to striking scenery before even setting sail: the terminal, located in Brooklyn's Red Hook neighborhood, offers prime views of Lower Manhattan, Governors Island and the Statue of Liberty.
How much will MSC Meraviglia's sailings from New York cost?
Prices vary depending on the sailing, but available staterooms on an eight-day round-trip cruise to Florida and the Bahamas departing Aug. 13 start at $699 per person based on double occupancy, in addition to $160 in taxes and fees each, according to the line's website .
The fare includes dining at the ship's main restaurants, access to the gym and sports facilities, Broadway-style shows and more.
The launch of year-round service from New York marks a continued investment in the U.S. market for the line, which has been expanding its footprint in America in recent years. The line has been ramping up sailings from U.S. home ports and will debut a new ship created with North American passengers in mind, World America , in 2025.

One of the world’s biggest cruise ships is now anchored in Brooklyn
The 19-story boat is as long as the Eiffel Tower is high.
![msc cruises from brooklyn ny Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner](https://media.timeout.com/images/105969575/170/170/image.jpg)
A floating city has made its way to Red Hook —and it’s taller than many Brooklyn apartment buildings.
The MSC Meraviglia, a new ship by MSC Cruises, docked at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal over the weekend and will use the port as its home base for itineraries between The Bahamas, Florida, Canada, New England and Bermuda.
The ship itself is like an extra neighborhood: Accommodating over 5,700 guests (plus staff), the cruise ship is 1,036 feet long, as high as the Eiffel Tower, and has 19 decks standing at 213 feet tall. Inside, the ship hosts a 985-seat Broadway-style theater, a 6,000-square-foot gym, plus 20 bars, 12 restaurants and a handful of pools and hot tubs.
Like most cruise lines, MSC is headquartered overseas, in Geneva, Switzerland, but the local docking is still predicted to influence New York’s local economy. So far, 150 New Yorkers have been hired to facilitate terminal operations and the ship itself has 10,000 full-time-equivalent jobs to fill.
![msc cruises from brooklyn ny MSC Cruises](https://media.timeout.com/images/105999975/image.jpg)
Those who want to set sail from New York can choose from multiple itineraries, ranging from 5 to 11 nights. Upcoming trips include sailings to The Bahamas and Florida, August voyages to Bermuda and a fall New England trip to Newport, Boston and Portland in the U.S and Saint John, Halifax, Charlottetown, and Sydney in Canada. Trips start at $609 per person, for a week at sea with free wifi and unlimited food and drinks. Honestly, that's a whole lot cheaper than dining in New York.
“When we chose New York as the next step in our North American expansion, we knew that MSC Meraviglia would be the perfect ship, given her versatility and offerings for a wide variety of climates," said Rubén Rodríguez, President of MSC Cruises USA. "She’s big and innovative, she offers something for everyone, and now she’s more accessible than ever for our guests in and around New York. We’re thrilled to give guests from the Northeast a direct link to our private destination—Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve—which is part of our fantastic itineraries to The Bahamas. As the year goes on, they’ll have other options like spending several days exploring Bermuda, or heading north for the breathtaking fall foliage in Canada and New England."

6 Top Transatlantic Cruises for 2024
T ransatlantic cruises are unique when you compare them to traditional cruises most people book for family trips and romantic getaways. These voyages tend to be longer in general, and they have more built-in days at sea and offer a lot more time on board as a result. Repositioning cruises that include a transatlantic crossing tend to attract more retirees and travelers who just want to relax and enjoy their ships' amenities, especially since fewer days in port means fewer excursions and more time doing nothing at all.
That said, the fact that transatlantic cruises can last as few as seven nights means they may fit in your plans more easily than you may think. There are also some benefits to transatlantic crossings that may not be obvious, including lower nightly rates, more onboard credit, and more time to kick back and relax at a floating luxury resort in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
If you're curious which transatlantic cruises are best for 2024, here are six top picks with different cruise lengths, itineraries and unique destinations to explore.

Starting price: $2,449 per person (plus port taxes and fees)

In May of 2024, Cunard's Queen Mary 2 vessel will offer three different transatlantic crossings of various lengths.

This unique combination of itineraries lets you cross the sea and tailor your trip to how long you want to be away from home.
The 18-night itinerary is especially interesting, since it lets you depart from the United States and arrive back in Brooklyn in the end with stops in both England and Germany, as well as plenty of sea days in between. Luxury cruise line Cunard is known for its elegant design, lush amenities and upscale feel, and the Queen Mary 2 is one of the line's most luxurious ships. Highlights on this exclusive vessel include the Royal Court Theatre, a casino, gala evenings, an onboard spa and a vast library.

Princess Cruises
Date: Departs July 5, 2024
Departure port: New York City (Manhattan or Brooklyn)
Starting price: $4,098 per person (plus port taxes and fees)
Cruise length: 31 nights
Princess Cruises also offers its share of transatlantic sailings on various vessels.

This intriguing sailing experience with Princess takes passengers to eight different countries in the span of a month. Island Princess is a nice ship for a long sailing because of its smaller size, with just 2,200 passengers and 900 crew. But the ship is also large enough to have a huge selection of included and specialty dining options, a Vegas-style casino, a sports court, a large central atrium for gathering, and several pools and hot tubs to enjoy.
Celebrity Cruises
Date: Departs April 11, 2024
Departure port: Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Starting price: $760 per person (plus port taxes and fees)
Cruise length: 12 nights
Celebrity Cruises is offering a 12-night sailing on Celebrity Equinox in April 2024 that starts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida , and ends in Lisbon, Portugal – making it possible for travelers to enjoy eight relaxing days at sea. What's interesting about this sailing is its stops along the way, which include the Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda; Porta Delgada in Portugal's Azores archipelago; and Porto in mainland Portugal.
The Celebrity Equinox accommodates a maximum of just 2,852 passengers at once, so this Celebrity vessel is a solid choice for travelers who want just the right size ship instead of a smaller vessel or a megaship. There are also plenty of onboard features to keep you happy and entertained as you float across the Atlantic Ocean, including The Casino, The Lawn Club with outdoor games like bocce ball and croquet, The Martini Bar, the adults-only Solarium and more.

The Oasis of the Seas megaship can hold a total of 6,771 guests and 2,109 crew, so it's an enormous vessel – to put it mildly.

Oasis of the Seas boasts 20 different restaurants and cafes, 11 bars and lounges, a variety of pools and whirlpools, a rock climbing wall, the AquaTheater diving and entertainment venue, mini-golf, a casino and plenty more.
