MSC Cruises has unveiled a new two-storey luxury family villa featuring a private cinema, dedicated children’s suite, climbing tower and secret door, offering families a new way to experience holidays at sea.
The Grand Hamptons Villa will debut aboard the company’s upcoming flagship, MSC World Atlantic, which is scheduled to begin sailing from Port Canaveral, Florida, in November 2027. The accommodation is already available for booking, according to the cruise line’s announcement.
Designed for larger families, multigenerational groups or two families travelling together, the villa accommodates up to eight guests across more than 2,475 square feet (230 square metres) of indoor and outdoor space. It will be the only accommodation of its kind aboard the ship.
Inspired by the elegance of the Hamptons, the villa was developed in collaboration with Storyland Studios, a global destination and experience design company. Its centrepiece is a double-height living area with panoramic ocean views, a private library, dining space, kitchenette and bar.
For younger guests, the villa includes a dedicated children’s suite with custom bunk beds, individual television screens and a private bathroom. A climbing tower leads to an interactive ship-themed play area, where a secret door will reveal new surprises each day.
Entertainment facilities also include a private cinema lounge, digital gaming table and LEGO wall. Outdoors, families can enjoy a spacious oceanfront terrace equipped with a whirlpool, lounge seating and traditional deck games.
The main bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe, vanity and private balcony with an outdoor shower, while a separate double cabin and twin bedroom provide additional accommodation.
Guests staying in the villa will also receive access to MSC Yacht Club facilities and services, including 24-hour butler and concierge assistance. Other benefits include a dedicated cleaning team, the Premium Extra Drinks package, unlimited speciality dining, Wi-Fi and a Fun Pass.
“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,” Gianni Onorato, CEO of MSC Cruises, said. “The Grand Hamptons Villa reflects our commitment to evolving our premium family vacation offering through innovative accommodations and experiences,” he added.
The Grand Hamptons Villa will be available exclusively aboard MSC World Atlantic, which will operate alternating seven- and 14-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries from Port Canaveral. Destinations will include Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the cruise line’s private island in the Bahamas.
