MSC to call PortMiami home

MSC Cruises has announced that PortMiami will be its exclusive homeport for its Caribbean sailings as of fall 2013 pending approval by the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners. MSC operates a fleet of 11 cruise ships with its newest ship, the MSC Divina, scheduled to launch in May featuring the cruise line’s “ship-within-a-ship”concept — the MSC Yacht Club. Beginning in fall 2013, MSC Cruises, which now homeports out of Port Everglades, will join the PortMiami cruise line-up. The initial term of the agreement is for three years.
