Crew Members Set New Guinness World Record on MSC World America

MSC Cruises has set a brand new Guinness World Report for assembling the longest line of LEGO ships ever aboard its new ship MSC World America.

The file try occurred throughout MSC World America‘s journey from the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France — the place she has been beneath building for the final three years — to Miami, Florida.

The milestone comes forward of the ship formally being named in a ceremony at MSC’s brand-new cruise terminal in Miami on April ninth. World America will formally enter service on April twelfth, setting sail for her inaugural season within the Caribbean.

The captain of MSC World America, Grasp Dino Sagani, alongside over 1,000 crew members meticulously constructed and lined up the LEGO ships, forming a 89 meter (about 292 ft) show that stretched alongside the ship’s World Galleria on deck 6 from aft to ahead. Every LEGO ship took a median of 5 minutes to assemble, including up and with a complete of 1,391 ships that added as much as roughly 7,000 minutes — or 116 hours — of effort from the crew.

Whereas constructing the ships took time, assembling the complete record-breaking line was a feat of teamwork, and was accomplished in slightly below two hours. The method was overseen by a Guinness World Information adjudicator to verify the file was tried in response to the file pointers.

This achievement comes according to MSC’s leisure partnership with each LEGO and Guinness World Information. Final 12 months, the road introduced plans to roll out its Guinness World Information leisure program throughout the fleet.

Visitors have had the prospect to interrupt official Guinness World Information titles by way of this system, and each visitors and crew mixed have achieved 40 information up to now since its debut in 2023. This system can be obtainable throughout 16 ships by Might, and fleetwide by the top of the 12 months.

The brand new file joins the 13,000 longest line information within the Guinness World Information database and also will be featured within the Guinness World Information 2026 e-book. As a recognition of their efforts, every MSC crew member who participated obtained an official Guinness World Information certificates and one of many LEGO ships concerned as a memento.

In an elevated partnership with the LEGO Group, MSC World America will supply the primary LEGO themed parade at sea, LEGO Household Recreation Present, and LEGO Household Zone builder space for followers of all ages.
