The Galveston Wharves and the MSC Cruises signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding on Dec. 7, which outlines the potential agreement for the development and operation of a terminal at piers 16-18.
“We’re excited about the huge potential of this mutually beneficial public-private partnership. Adding MSC to our family of cruise lines would offer our cruise guests an elegant, European-style cruise experience,” said Rodger Rees, Galveston Wharves port director and CEO. “It would elevate our status as a top U.S. cruise homeport, boost the regional economy and allow MSC to reach a new market of millions of cruise passengers in the Central U.S.
“The prospect of developing a new homeport in Galveston is exciting because it represents a big step in our ongoing North American expansion,” said Rubén A. Rodríguez, president of MSC Cruises USA. “Bringing our modern, glamorous ships to Texas would provide even more access and opportunities for guests and travel advisors to experience the future of cruising with MSC Cruises and our unique European style.
The potential development would bring 3,500 jobs, $568 million in local business revenue, and $73.5 million in local purchases by passengers and crew, according to Galveston Wharves.
