FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla -- MSC Cruises, the world's fastest growing cruise line, invites everyone to join in the year-long celebration leading to the arrival of one of MSC Cruises' newest ship, MSC Orchestra, in America.

"We're excited to welcome this beautiful ship, one of the newest in our fleet, to Fort Lauderdale," says Richard E. Sasso, president and CEO of MSC Cruises (USA). "To share our excitement and introduce American and Canadian travelers to this magnificent ship, we have launched www.theorchestraiscomingtotown.com."
