Barrymore and Bloom back at sea with MSC Cruises

Drew Barrymore and Orlando Bloom are back at sea with MSC Cruises as it launches its latest installment of “Let’s Holiday.”

The campaign is now available online and sees Barrymore and Bloom discover the best of what MSC Cruises has to offer aboard its flagship, MSC World America.

Episodes include “Gnocchi & Karaoke,” “That’s Funny,” and “Cabana & Spritz.”

From “Gnocchi and Karaoke” in the only Eataly at sea, to “Footy” in a British pub that’s just steps away from the Caribbean, the ads feature Barrymore and Bloom exploring everything that makes a holiday with MSC Cruises memorable — including tea in the MSC Yacht Club.

Their personalities — and unique sensibilities — are on full display while playfully quibbling over questions like how best to measure the distance to the nearest onboard gelato shop and the humour of a British celebrity named after a city in Florida. (Given the pair’s interest in distances, it’s worth noting that Orlando is just 50 miles — or 87 kilometres — away from Port Canaveral).

Drew Barrymore, actress and host of The Drew Barrymore Show, said: “I had so much fun finally sailing with Orlando on MSC World America. I love being the ship’s Godmother and working with MSC Cruises – they have something for every family. The food at Eataly was delicious and nothing beats karaoke with a bunch of new cruise friends. I’m ready for another adventure with MSC Cruises!”

Bloom said: “A great holiday lets you see the world, and sailing with MSC Cruises feels like you’re getting a taste of Europe while you explore the Caribbean. Classic afternoon tea followed by football in the sports bar with gelato next door—how can you go wrong? They’re always adding new destinations, and their ships enable you to travel with the perfect mix of European Style and American comfort, which makes for a wonderful holiday experience.”

The brand campaign builds on the “Let’s Holiday” platform launched during last year’s Big Game and brings MSC Cruises’ blend of European style and North American comfort to life, but with even more energy and fun, personified by Barrymore and Bloom.

The ‘Let’s Holiday’ campaign debuted with Wave Season in full swing, which coincides with the new year and offers some of the best cruise deals available. Canadians now have a brand-new homeport in La Romana, in the south of the Dominican Republic, to choose from, expanding their options in the Caribbean.

La Romana offers Canadian holidayers a perfect blend of relaxation, rich culture and natural beauty, featuring pristine beaches, local craft shops, delicious seafood and easy access to renowned sites such as the enchanting Cueva de las Maravillas 16th-century Mediterranean inspired village Altos de Chavón.
