MSC World America Dares You With New Over-Water Swing Ride ‘Cliffhanger’

MSC World America is the latest in the MSC Cruises line-up, launching in 2025. Like all the cruise line’s ships, there is plenty of entertainment dining, bars, fun for the kids and more. However, the MSC World America is taking things one step further with the first-ever, over-water swing ride, dubbed appropriately “Cliffhanger.” Read on to find out more about this over-the-top attraction and other details for a fun cruise.

MSC World America and the over-water swing ride called ‘Cliffhanger’

Everyone who loves TV shows knows that feeling when the finale features a cliffhanger. Now, MSC Cruises has its own Cliffhanger – a swing ride over the water on the new MSC World America. Would you dare to sit on a swing, with your feet 164 feet above the ocean? Take a look below!

When the ship launches in 2025, it will invite its guests to climb onboard Cliffhanger’s four seats on the ship’s top deck. Once comfortably seated, the powered arms will lift you up and out over the water, while swinging back and forth on high.

The new attraction will form part of the cruise ship’s Family Aventura district, one of seven distinct neighborhoods on the new MSC Cruises ship. However, this isn’t the only attraction to be found and enjoyed.

All onboard for entertainment

The World Promenade on the MSC World America offers ocean views and beautiful, LED light shows. In this area, a world of excitement is available for the whole family. Meanwhile, the new ship offers a wide choice of restaurants and bars, featuring globally inspired menus and the feel of an authentic, vibrant onboard city. Meanwhile, the choice includes everything from fine dining to casual snacks as well as 30 bars, dining venues and lounges.

MSC World America for kids

For those on a family cruise, the new ship has almost endless attractions and experiences for adults, teens and kids alike. The Kids’ Clubs keep the little ones happy and there is also entertainment for all ages, including the MSC SportPlex and roller skate area, the Panorama Lounge, the main theater and the multi-purpose Luna Park Arena.

Entertainment is available day and night, including three new concert-style shows in the Luna Park Area and five new full-scale theater productions in the World Theater. Meanwhile, guests will also enjoy four themed experiences in the Panorama Lounge, as well as surprise, pop-up live exhibits throughout the ship.

Moreover, the MSC World America features state-of-the-art facilities for the kids in a dedicated area on the ship, along with a selection of kids’ clubs and age-related programs to choose from.

The MSC World America will officially debut on April 9, 2025, at PortMiami. From there, the cruise will take its guests on 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises. Along the way, the ship will stop at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the cruise line’s private island destination in The Bahamas.
