MIAMI - November 2, 2026 - MSC Cruises has been recognized as a top cruise line across four categories in Recommend Magazine's 2026 Readers' Choice Awards. Selected by the publication's audience of travel advisors, the awards recognize the cruise line across its overall product, family offerings and more.

MSC Cruises received Gold in the Sustainability category, Silver in the Contemporary/Premium category and Bronze in both the Overall Large-Size Ship and Family categories.

The recognition comes during a year of continued growth for MSC Cruises in North America. The cruise line is approaching its one-year anniversary of sailing from Galveston, where MSC Seascape offers seven-night Western Caribbean itineraries, and recently completed its first season in Alaska with MSC Poesia sailing from Seattle.

The cruise line is also expanding its World Class fleet, with MSC World Asia debuting in the Mediterranean in December 2026 and MSC World Atlantic set to begin sailing year-round from Port Canaveral in November 2027.

The Recommend Readers' Choice Awards are given annually and recognize travel organizations across categories including cruise lines, hotels and resorts, destinations, tour operators, airlines and more.
