U.S. EXPANSION: MSC Cruises adds Galveston home port, for Seascape

Continuing it’s ongoing expansion in the U.S., MSC Cruises has announced that Galveston, Texas will be its fourth home port in the country and will serve as the new home base for the MSC Seascape starting in November 2025.

MSC Cruises’ CEO Gianni Onorato stated, “This announcement is the latest step in our strategy to continue to grow our U.S. footprint. Earlier this year we began operations from our third U.S. home port, New York City, where we now sail year-round, and we are proud to add Galveston to that growing line-up alongside PortMiami and Port Canaveral.”

He continued, “We are committed to bringing our newest, largest, most innovative ships to the U.S. and are pleased that MSC Seascape will be more easily accessible to guests in central and western parts of the U.S. through Galveston, as well as to our guests internationally via the well-connected international airport hub of Houston.”

The line has opened sales for year-round sailings from the port, offering seven-night western Caribbean itineraries with Sunday embarkation, staring Nov. 9, 2025, with destinations including Costa Maya and Cozumel (Mexico) and Isla de Roatan (Honduras).
