MSC Cruises announced today that Drew Barrymore will be the Godmother of its new U.S. flagship, MSC World America. Barrymore will cut the ribbon and take part in the traditional breaking of a bottle of champagne on the ship’s bow alongside ad campaign co-star Orlando Bloom. MSC World America’s Naming Ceremony will be held on the evening of Wednesday, April 9 at the new MSC Miami Cruise Terminal.
“When MSC Cruises asked me to be the Godmother of MSC World America, I immediately said yes! I absolutely love to travel—it fuels my soul—and being part of something that helps people set off on incredible adventures is just amazing. There’s something so magical about cruises; they let you discover the world in this really fun, unexpected way. And to be able to name MSC World America and send the ship off with well wishes and good luck is such an honor.”
Drew Barrymore, actress and host of the Drew Barrymore Show
“As a family company with over 300 years of seafaring heritage, these events hold a special and personal significance for us. We value the important maritime tradition where our Godmother breaks a bottle of champagne on the hull and officially names the ship, bringing good luck and protection. Drew is the perfect Godmother for MSC World America, and we are thrilled to continue to partner with her for this campaign. She embodies our brand perfectly, with her exquisite style and grace, and her passion for the comfort and adventure we find through travel.”
Suzanne Salas, EVP, Marketing, eCommerce & Sales, MSC Cruises USA
Guests at MSC World America’s Naming Ceremony will include the global press, dignitaries and Travel Advisors. They will enjoy a gala dinner and entertainment, along with the chance to experience everything the ship has to offer. After the ceremony, MSC World America will depart on a celebratory 3-night sailing to Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.
While docked at Ocean Cay, the MSC Foundation will host a ribbon cutting ceremony for its new Marine Conservation Center. The facility will serve as a hub for scientists and students involved in the Foundation’s Super Coral Program, as well as a place where guests can learn more about the program’s mission to restore coral reefs that have been impacted by climate change.
All of MSC World America’s cruises from Miami include visits to Ocean Cay, with its miles of white sand beaches, crystal clear turquoise water and a variety of activities for all ages.
