GENEVA, 21 October 2026 – MSC Cruises has unveiled the Grand Hamptons Villa, a new two-storey accommodation concept that will debut exclusively aboard MSC World Atlantic when the ship begins sailing from Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida, in November 2027.
Designed to accommodate up to eight guests, the villa will offer more than 230 square metres of combined indoor and outdoor space, including a private cinema, children’s suite, interactive play areas and an oceanfront terrace.
Only one Grand Hamptons Villa will be available aboard MSC World Atlantic. Reservations are already open for sailings beginning with the ship’s launch.
Grand Hamptons Villa Designed for Larger Families
Developed in collaboration with global destination and experience design firm Storyland Studios, the villa takes its design inspiration from the Hamptons.
The accommodation is intended for larger or multigenerational families, as well as two families travelling together. Its double-height main living area will feature panoramic ocean views, a transformative ceiling and dedicated spaces for dining, relaxation and play.
The interior will also include a private library, dining area, kitchenette and bar. A climbing tower will lead to an interactive ship-themed play area, where a concealed door will reveal different surprises each day.
Gianni Onorato, CEO of MSC Cruises, said:
“As demand for family and multigenerational travel continues to grow, we are constantly looking for new ways to elevate our guest experience to create unique and memorable experiences. The Grand Hamptons Villa reflects our commitment to evolving our premium family vacation offering through innovative accommodations and experiences. As a family-owned company, we understand what makes a great family holiday and the importance of creating accommodations that enable families to make the most of their time together while enjoying the space and flexibility they need.”
Private Cinema and Dedicated Children’s Suite
The villa’s Entertainment Loft will provide a separate area for family activities, incorporating a private cinema lounge, digital gaming table and LEGO wall.
Accommodation will include a primary suite with a walk-in wardrobe, vanity area and private ocean-view balcony with an outdoor shower. A dedicated children’s suite will feature customised bunk beds, individual television screens for each bunk and its own bathroom. A double cabin and separate twin bedroom will provide additional sleeping arrangements for larger groups.
The villa will also feature an ocean-view swinging chair and an expansive private outdoor terrace equipped with a whirlpool, lounge seating and traditional deck games.
