• VIDEO: Behind-the-scenes footage and exclusive interview with Barrymore and Bloom

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – December 15, 2025 – Drew Barrymore and Orlando Bloom are returning to the high seas in a new commercial for MSC Cruises’ “Let’s Holiday” campaign. The company unveiled its full lineup of ships and itineraries for the winter 2027-2028 season on Monday, along with a look behind the scenes of the new ad which is scheduled to begin airing next year—just in time for Wave Season and its famously good deals on cruises.

Three Homeports, Seven Ships

MSC Cruises will offer a wide range of Caribbean cruises throughout winter 2027-2028, covering everything from quick weekend getaways to extended itineraries through Central and South America. The season will include MSC World Atlantic’s inaugural voyage from Port Canaveral, kicking off an alternating schedule of 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean sailings complemented by MSC Grandiosa’s 3- and 4-night cruises to Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve and The Bahamas.

MSC World America will lead a lineup of four ships sailing from PortMiami, featuring year-round short cruises aboard MSC Seaside, MSC Seashore’s unique 6- and 8-night options designed to take guests off the beaten path, and MSC Poesia’s extended 10- and 11-night voyages. In Galveston, MSC Seascape will offer 7-night Western Caribbean itineraries packed with Texas style.

The Evolution of “Let’s Holiday”

Drew Barrymore and Orlando Bloom made headlines this year for co-starring in MSC Cruises’ “Let’s Holiday” campaign, which debuted during the Big Game. They’re gearing up to revive their friendly transatlantic rivalry with a new commercial featuring fresh takes on the cruise line’s mix of European style and American comfort. Last month, they turned heads aboard MSC World America when they set sail for production of the new commercial. Now MSC Cruises is sharing a sneak peek behind the scenes and an exclusive interview with the iconic duo.

Drew Barrymore, actress and host of the Drew Barrymore Show, said: “It was amazing to be back on board MSC World America—my god daughter!—to shoot another ‘Let’s Holiday’ commercial. I love doing this job, I love working with Orlando, and I love enjoying all the ways European style and American comfort come together when you’re sailing with MSC Cruises. I got to dine at Eataly and of course there’s the Cliffhanger ride, but what I love the most is how you can choose your own holiday adventure. MSC Cruises has so many ships setting sail from so many places, and they all offer their own cool features to discover!”

Bloom said: “MSC Cruises really does have something for everyone. Being back on MSC World America for this new commercial was great because I was able to see what the full cruising experience is like. I went from a quiet spa day on board to a gorgeous beach day at Ocean Cay. Drew and I have great chemistry, and we loved working together again. I can’t wait for people to see the next chapter of ‘Let’s Holiday’ and watch us discover more of MSC Cruises’ European style and American comfort.”

The new commercial will debut in early 2026, ahead of milestones including MSC Cruises’ first Alaska cruises, sailing from Seattle aboard MSC Poesia starting in May, and the launch of MSC World Asia in the Mediterranean later in the year.
