MSC Cruises Introduces Cliffhanger: The First Over-Water Swing Ride at Sea

MSC Cruises has raised the bar for maritime adventure with the unveiling of Cliffhanger, the first over-water swing ride at sea, set to premiere on the MSC World America in April 2025. This thrilling attraction will stand proudly on the top deck of the new U.S. flagship, forming the centrepiece of the ship’s Family Aventura district and promising an adrenaline rush like no other.

Cliffhanger is not just a ride; it’s a heart-pounding, adrenaline-fueled experience that will leave you breathless. With four seats that begin their journey close to the deck, riders will be lifted by powered arms extending out over the ship’s edge. Then, in a thrilling sequence, they will swing back and forth, soaring 50 meters above the ocean’s surface, with panoramic views that alternate between the deep blue waters and the expansive sky. Get ready for an adventure like no other!

The MSC World America, set to become MSC Cruises’ newest U.S. flagship, is not just a ship, but a gateway to a world of unique experiences. Its naming ceremony, a momentous event, is scheduled for April 9, 2025, at PortMiami. The ship beckons guests to explore its seven distinct districts, each offering a unique atmosphere and a plethora of experiences. Whether it’s the thrill of adventure, the bliss of relaxation, or the joy of entertainment, MSC World America is designed to cater to every traveller’s desire, promising an unforgettable journey.

In its inaugural season, the ship will embark from Miami on 7-night voyages, navigating to the most coveted locales in the Eastern and Western Caribbean, including stops at the Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, MSC Cruises’ exclusive private island retreat in The Bahamas.

Committed to sustainability, MSC World America is designed with the environment in mind. Powered by LNG, a cleaner-burning fuel, the ship is also equipped with renewable energy sources. Shore power connectivity allows for reduced emissions in port, and advanced technology ensures guest comfort while optimizing energy and water usage. The ship’s waste management and propeller design further reflect MSC Cruises’ dedication to preserving marine life and minimizing environmental impact.

With the introduction of Cliffhanger and its eco-conscious innovations, MSC World America is set to offer guests an unparalleled cruising experience that combines the thrills of amusement with the tranquillity of the seas.
