Try something new! Introducing MSC Cruises' first North American cruises: a dramatic way to experience the northeast. From the razzmatazz of New York to the wide open spaces of Canada and the amazing colours of New England in the fall, North America really is a new world waiting to be discovered.

Departing from New York or Quebec City, the new cruises work their way up and down North America's East Coast, exploring Canada and New England. And there's even the option to cruise on south to Florida, the Sunshine State. Sailing on the brand new MSC Poesia, MSC Cruises offers several different North American cruises to choose from, lasting 8, 10 or 11 days.

Follow in the footsteps of the early European settlers in North America as you cruise past the dramatic coastline of Canada and New England, sailing into immense natural harbours and visiting charming towns steeped in the history of North America's colonial period. New England towns like Newport, home to the famous Newport Mansions, and Bar Harbor, gateway to Acadia National Park and Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the East Coast. Not forgetting Boston, Massachusetts, the largest city in New England and one of the oldest in North America, where the famous Boston Tea Party took place.

From remote Newfoundland and the Acadian settlements of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island to the cultural importance of Quebec City, another of North America's oldest towns, the East Coast of Canada glitters with surprising gems.

And what North American cruise would be complete without experiencing the unique energy of New York City? The most dynamic city on the East Coast, and indeed anywhere in North America and possibly the world, New York is the perfect destination for a cruise with MSC Cruises, the most dynamic cruise company in the world!
