MSC Cruises new U.S. brand campaign will debut an ad during Super Bowl 59 showcasing MSC World America, sailing from Miami beginning April 2025.

The brand’s first-ever Big Game commercial produced by award-winning agency Highdive, will feature a 60-second ad on February 9 with Drew Barrymore and Orlando Bloom taking viewers on a cruise “holiday” aboard MSC World America, the company’s flagship.

“I am so proud to work with MSC Cruises, which is a company that makes it possible for people and families to get to see the world,” shared Drew Barrymore, actress and host of The Drew Barrymore Show.

She added, “They take care of all the planning and make it beautiful and joyful! They are also helping to create incredible memories to last a lifetime. I’m so excited to partner with MSC Cruises on this most meaningful endeavor!”

“This is my first Big Game commercial, and I’m flattered to partner with such a prestigious brand,” said actor Orlando Bloom. “MSC World America is full of European style and is perfectly designed for immersive and enriching experiences at sea. I’m excited to share this elegant new ship on America’s biggest stage and I’m sure MSC World America will wow holidaymakers of all types—Americans and Europeans alike.”

Suzanne Salas, EVP, Marketing, eCommerce & Sales, MSC Cruises USA said in a statement, “The fun dynamic between Drew and Orlando in our Big Game commercial is a great representation of MSC World America—which combines European design and authentic experiences with everything Americans have come to expect from a cruise—to offer an unmatched vacation.”

Salas added, “We want to give America a glimpse of all the unique features our new ship has to offer, through Drew and Orlando's eyes of course.”

The new campaign kicks off an exciting year for MSC Cruises as the US MSC World America will be the brand’s largest ship to serve the North American market when she sets sail from PortMiami on April 9, 2025.

MSC World America will offer 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises all calling at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve—a private island destination in The Bahamas with several miles of white sand beaches, turquoise waters and a range of activity and amenity enhancements debuting in 2025.
