MSC Cruises is bringing an iconic film to life with the debut of “Dirty Dancing in Concert” on board MSC World America.

Inspired by the 1987 Lionsgate film, the show will feature a live band, singers and dancers on MSC World America, the company’s new ship slated to launch in April.

Guests sailing on every 7-night Caribbean cruise will have multiple chances to see “Dirty Dancing in Concert,” including matinees on sea days. The 90-minute performances will end with guests dancing in the aisles and singing along during an after party that continues into the night.

Guests will also have the chance to enjoy other new entertainment options, including stage shows, live music, activities, games and more.

MSC World America will also feature acrobatic shows, concert experiences, illusion shows, an adults-only Comedy Club, Dueling Pianos, family game shows, magic shows, circus-style shows, e-gaming, dance classes and more.

“Delivering a diverse entertainment lineup for every type of vacationer is central to creating an unforgettable cruise experience,” says Steve Leatham, vice president of entertainment for MSC Cruises. “MSC World America provides an incredible platform to push the boundaries of entertainment at sea, and we’re introducing some exciting new concepts and productions.”
