A triple milestone for MSC Cruises and Chantiers de l’Atlantique’s World Class ships was celebrated at a ceremony in Saint-Nazaire in France last week – the delivery of MSC World America, the coin ceremony of MSC World Asia, and the steel cutting for the newly named MSC World Atlantic.

American Cruise Lines is set to overhaul its fleet of four classic paddlewheelers, giving them a new look in line with the ‘modern design’ of its new riverboats. The vessels will also rebrand under the moniker ‘American’.
