The headquarters opening follows recent investments by MSC Group, including expanded cruise infrastructure and increased deployment of ships from South Florida homeports.

Local and regional leaders emphasized that the move reflects confidence in Miami-Dade County’s business environment, workforce, and long-term resilience. By bringing executive leadership, operational teams, and strategic planning together in one location, MSC Group strengthens collaboration while reinforcing Miami’s position on the global stage.
