On Monday, June 16, MSC Cruises welcomed a group of young men from the NexGen Mentorship Program aboard MSC Seascape while in port at Nassau Cruise Port. The visit provided the young Bahamian men with a firsthand look at the maritime industry, focusing on excellence in operations, global hospitality, and career pathways.

The initiative was made possible through the leadership of Mr. Rick Sasso, Chairman of MSC Cruises (USA), whose longstanding connection to The Bahamas and deep commitment to youth development made this experience especially meaningful. “The Bahamas holds a special place in my heart,” he shared. “Investing in young people, particularly those from a region so vital to our operations, is not only a responsibility but a privilege. We want these young men to see that a future in this industry is within reach.”

Senator Ronald C Duncombe, founder of the NexGen Young Men Mentorship Program, expressed gratitude for the experience, noting its impact on the participants. “This was more than a ship tour; it was a vision-setting moment,” said Senator Duncombe. “These young men left MSC Seascape inspired, motivated, and with a broader sense of what’s possible. Our mission is to build disciplined, purpose-driven leaders and this opportunity aligns perfectly with that goal.”
