A new cruise line will be operating from New York City for its voyages, and Mayor Eric Adams says it could potentially bring thousands of full-time jobs to the area.  

MSC Cruises’ Seascape will be docking in the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. MSC's executive chairman says the plan is to hire 10,000 full-time employees, with 150 of those full-time roles specifically reserved for New Yorkers. 

The ship will operate from Brooklyn year-round with trips to Florida, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Bermuda and more.  

The city’s Economic Development Corporation estimates that tourism will generate up to $102 million in spending yearly. 

The cruise line’s ship will be based in Brooklyn starting in April of 2023.
