The Italian MSC Cruises is expanding their footprint in North America. Already a regular visitor to the Caribbean out of southern Florida in the winter, the line will offer a Canada – New England series of cruises in 2010.
The MSC Magnifica is under construction and scheduled to debut in March 2010. She will be sailing a series of fall foliage cruises from both New York and Quebec City. She will then sail to Fort Lauderdale to join the MSC Lirica for the 2010-11 Caribbean season.
