America’s favorite transatlantic duo is back in a fresh round of ads from MSC Cruises. The latest installment in the cruise line’s “Let’s Holiday” campaign debuted over the weekend, featuring Drew Barrymore and Orlando Bloom discovering the best of MSC Cruises’ European style and American comfort aboard flagship MSC World America.

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 uniquely European and American 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 humor 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 kilometers—away from Port Canaveral, which is home to MSC Grandiosa and MSC Seashore.).

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

No better time to book

The commercials debuted with Wave Season in full swing, which coincides with the new year and offers some of the best cruise deals available. MSC Cruises’ current promotion features cruises from $199 per person, up to $500 in onboard credit, and Kids Sail Free on select sailings. It applies to all seven ships sailing in the U.S., as well as sailings aboard the rest of the line’s global fleet.
