History of MSC Cruises

MSC Cruises are the world’s third-largest cruise brand as well as the leader in Europe, South America, the Gulf region, and Southern Africa, with more market share in addition to deployed capacity than any other player. MSC Cruises are also the fastest-growing global cruise brand with a strong presence in the Caribbean, North America, and the Far East markets.

We’ve called the sea our home for over 300 years. It’s a place of wonder, discovery, and delight. But it’s also a place that needs protection. On an MSC Cruise, our guests don’t just create unforgettable memories, visit incredible destinations, and enjoy the finest hospitality – they also have a chance to make a difference. From our experienced crew members to our engineers, to our expert ship builders, we’re securing the sea’s tomorrow by taking positive steps today.

What makes MSC Cruises different from our competitors is that we are not a corporation, we are a family! The fact that we are a private family-owned company gives us a special and unique outlook on our staff and our business. When you enter our business, you enter a world of family seafaring tradition and excellence.
