With the new Disney Adventure setting sail this year, it seems like the cruise vacation is getting more popular! There are quite a few well-known cruise lines, but what’s new with MSC? This cruise line will be joining the trend of expanding by adding another island destination!

MSC Cruises is known for its focus on fun and sustainability at sea. It most recently had a refurbishment done with its private island destination, Ocean Cay. With the popularity of the cruise line continuing to rise, they will now be adding the Bahamas to their destination list, according to Travel Pulse!

MSC recently confirmed its plans to develop an island that will become the cruise line’s newest destination. The island hasn’t been given a name yet, but is being called “Little Cay” internally. When it’s completed, it is estimated to be about 1/3 of the size of the cruise line’s already existing private island.

An MSC spokeswoman of the new island claimed, “This second island will stay true to the ethos of Ocean Cay, offering an experience that connects guests to nature, pristine beaches, and the beauty of the ocean plus luxury facilities and water features.”. Pierfrancesco Vago, MSC’s executive chariman, stated “this [new island] will offer a different experience for the different brands.”.

This new island is planned to be developed over an existing sandbank in the Bahamas. This gives MSC Group the chance to build a new thing. Vago claimed, “We design the island to be an incredible luxury experience. We’re very proud and very happy to have developed again something from nothing like this, so we don’t spoil the existing paradise”. Unfortunately, we don’t have many details outside of what’s been said. This is still a very early stage of development for MSC. The good news is, the company has announced they’re actively working with officials and partners in the Bahamas to get this new project up and rolling!
