How MSC Cruises Turned a Dredging Site Into a Private Island Paradise | WSJ Booked Cruise lines like MSC Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Lines are pouring increasing sums into private islands that give them more control over the guest experience. Nearly 13 million tourists went on Caribbean cruises in 2013, but there are only so many ports they can visit.

WSJ explores how MSC spent $500 million transforming a dredging site into an exclusive destination for its passengers.
