MSC Cruises Opens Bookings for Grand Hamptons Villa

The villa’s dedicated children’s suite has custom bunks with individual television screens, while a climbing tower leads to an interactive ship-themed play space.

MSC Cruises opened bookings on October 21, 2026, for the Grand Hamptons Villa, a two-storey accommodation offering more than 230 square metres of indoor and outdoor space. It will debut aboard MSC World Atlantic when the ship begins sailing from Port Canaveral, Florida, in November 2027.

The ship will have just one villa, accommodating up to eight guests in a layout designed for larger families, multigenerational groups or two families travelling together. Its features include a private cinema, a dedicated children’s suite and an ocean-facing terrace with a whirlpool.

Gianni Onorato, chief executive officer of MSC Cruises, said demand for family and multigenerational travel was growing. He cited “the importance of creating accommodations that enable families to make the most of their time together while enjoying the space and flexibility they need.”

The booking includes MSC Yacht Club access, round-the-clock butler and concierge services, and a dedicated housekeeping team. Other inclusions are the Premium Extra Drinks package, a Fun Pass, unlimited speciality dining and Wi-Fi. MSC did not announce a starting fare.

Separate bedrooms and dedicated play spaces

Developed with Storyland Studios, the Hamptons-inspired design divides sleeping accommodation among a primary stateroom, the children’s suite, a double cabin and a separate twin bedroom. The primary stateroom has a walk-in wardrobe and a vanity, plus its own sea-view balcony with an outdoor shower.

In the children’s suite, custom-built bunks each have an individual television screen. The suite also has its own bathroom.

The shared living area has a double-height ceiling and panoramic sea views, with separate places for dining, relaxing and play. A private library provides another seating space, while the dining area is served by a kitchenette and private bar. MSC also lists a changeable ceiling feature and a sea-facing swinging chair among the villa’s fittings.

A climbing tower connects to an interactive play space themed around a ship. Within that area, a concealed door will open to reveal different surprises each day.

The Entertainment Loft brings together the cinema lounge, a digital gaming table and a LEGO wall. Outdoors, the main terrace adds lounge seating and deck games alongside the whirlpool; it is separate from the primary stateroom’s balcony.

MSC World Atlantic’s programme will alternate seven- and 14-night Eastern and Western Caribbean voyages. Destinations will include Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, MSC Cruises’ private island in the Bahamas.
