The Bahamas’ Newest Island

A couple days ago we told you how MSC opened the books on MSC Seaside - two years in advance. It will be homeported in Miami year round for Caribbean cruising. (The new ship will arrive in Miami right from the yard in December 2017.) Sharp-eyed readers may have caught in both itineraries that we said one of the ports of call would be an out island in the Bahamas, but we didn’t mention which one.

Today we can, because yesterday, MSC Cruises Executive Chairman Pierfrancesco Vago signed a 100-year lease on an island the line will develop into Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, their own private island.

Details appeared in the December 17 edition of Cruise News Daily.
