MSC just announced it’s launching an entirely new ship platform called New Frontier, a brand-new class of cruise ships that will start arriving in 2030. Four ships are officially on order, with two more potentially waiting in the wings.

At the same time, New Frontier won’t reach the extreme scale of the industry’s biggest ships. MSC’s own World Class ships, like MSC World America, can carry more than 6,700 passengers, while Royal Caribbean’s Icon Class ships—the largest cruise ships in the world—accommodate nearly 7,600 guests.
According to a press statement, MSC Cruises Executive Chairman Pierfrancesco Vago says the New Frontier class is about rethinking design and technology rather than just building bigger. “The New Frontier class will enable us to design new and exclusive itineraries, offer exceptional guest experience and will feature next-generation environmental technologies that will advance our net-zero 2050 commitment."
That suggests these ships won’t be World Class clones. While MSC hasn’t revealed specifics yet—no deck plans, no headline attractions—the company is positioning New Frontier as a more flexible platform, even if “flexible” still comes with 5,400 fellow passengers.
For cruisers, that could be big news. Meyer Werft-built ships are known for strong engineering and high-quality, innovative design, with a reputation for efficiency, advanced technology and early adoption of emerging fuel solutions. The German shipyard was among the first to introduce liquefied natural gas (LNG)–powered cruise ships, helping push the industry toward greater fuel efficiency (the yard has previously built vessels for Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Line, among others).
The catch? You’ll have to wait. Deliveries begin in 2030, with one ship arriving each year after that.
