Gianni Onorato, CEO of MSC Cruises, said the concept responds to growing demand for family and multigenerational travel, giving guests more space and flexibility while allowing them to spend time together.

Inspired by the Hamptons' understated coastal style, the villa was developed in collaboration with Storyland Studios, a destination and experience design firm. Only one Grand Hamptons Villa will be available aboard MSC World Atlantic.

The ship will operate alternating seven- and 14-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries from Port Canaveral. Destinations will include Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the cruise line's private island in The Bahamas.
