MSC planned to construct another new series of mega-ships (World-Class) at STX France shipyard at a cost of EUR 4.5 billion. In February 2022 MSC announced that Meraviglia will be homeported in New York City (Brooklyn Terminal) year-round, starting April 2023. MSC Meraviglia's itinerary program is currently based on Caribbean deployment and homeporting in NYC New York USA. In Florida are visited Miami and Port Canaveral/Orlando, and all Caribbean voyages visit MSC's private island Ocean Cay. Fleet's first is the Technology Shop (wearables and other devices by leading tech brands like Bang & Olufsen, Bose, Apple, Samsung).

The construction was costly because the ship is big and the materials used were of the highest possible quality. Plus, vessel's construction demanded 40% more steel than an ordinary cruising vessel. Reflection was the first in the series with AquaClass cabins, and the only ship with Reflection-Class suites. In comparison to the sisterships, Reflection has one more deck, 89 more cabins and 42 more suites.
