Drew Barrymore and Orlando Bloom Cruising in New MSC Cruises Super Bowl Commercial

The secret is out! The names of the two acclaimed actors appearing in the MSC World America Super Bowl commercial have been announced – Drew Barrymore and Orlando Bloom.

Barrymore and Bloom are joining forces with MSC Cruises to launch the family-owned company’s first national advertising campaign as part of its ongoing North American expansion.

The 60-second ad will appear in the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 9. Viewers will see the two actors taking a vacation aboard MSC World America.

“I am so proud to work with MSC Cruises, which is a company that makes it possible for people and families to get to see the world,” Drew Barrymore, actress and host of The Drew Barrymore Show, said in a press release.

“They take care of all the planning and make it beautiful and joyful! They are also helping to create incredible memories to last a lifetime. I’m so excited to partner with MSC Cruises on this most meaningful endeavor,” Barrymore said.

In a commercial teaser, Barrymore and Bloom have commandeered the piano in the MSC Yacht Club’s Top Sail Lounge, which is an exclusive area available to guests traveling in MSC Cruises’ luxury ship-within-a-ship offering.

Bloom offers his critique as Barrymore belts out her best rendition of “Holiday,” which is also the new campaign’s musical signature.

“This is my first Big Game commercial, and I’m flattered to partner with such a prestigious brand,” Orlando Bloom said in a press release.

“MSC World America is full of European style and is perfectly designed for immersive and enriching experiences at sea. I’m excited to share this elegant new ship on America’s biggest stage and I’m sure MSC World America will wow holidaymakers of all types—Americans and Europeans alike,” Bloom said.

The ad was produced by award-winning creative agency, Highdive, and is designed to highlight what sets the brand apart from other cruise options.

“The fun dynamic between Drew and Orlando in our Big Game commercial is a great representation of MSC World America—which combines European design and authentic experiences with everything Americans have come to expect from a cruise—to offer an unmatched vacation,” Suzanne Salas, EVP, marketing, ecommerce & sales, MSC Cruises USA, said in a press release.

“We want to give America a glimpse of all the unique features our new ship has to offer, through Drew and Orlando’s eyes of course.”

The new campaign kicks off an exciting year for MSC Cruises in the U.S. MSC World America will be the brand’s largest ship to serve the North American market, ushering in a new world of cruising when she sets sail from PortMiami on April 9, 2025.

The ship will offer 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises, all of which will call at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve – a private island destination in The Bahamas with several miles of white sand beaches, turquoise waters and a range of activity and amenity enhancements debuting this year.
