ORLANDO, Fla. — Port Canaveral welcomed a fifth major cruise line less than two months ago, and it has already shifted up vessels, bringing yet another of the world’s largest cruise ships to the region.
MSC Cruises said arrivederci to MSC Divina, which debuted in mid-September, and buongiorno to MSC Meraviglia this past week.
The 171,598-gross-ton, 4,500-passenger Meraviglia is currently tied for 11th largest cruise ship in the world. Port Canaveral already handles Oasis-class ships of Royal Caribbean, all four of which are at the top of the list, and the new Mardi Gras from Carnival, which is ranked eighth.
