MSC Cruises presents new details of the MSC World Asia. Sailing from Barcelona to explore the Mediterranean from December 2026, with stops in destinations such as Marseille, Messina, Civitavecchia, Naples, and Valletta, passengers will have a wide variety of entertainment options to choose from day and night.
With an exciting combination of new entertainment venues and returning favorites to deliver the ultimate cruise experience, including:
NEW SPACE! The Clubhouse – A lively, retro-inspired space where families can gather for fun and creative play. Designed with a playful and timeless aesthetic, it combines classic board games, a LEGO® family zone, bumper cars, basketball, and skating.
NEW DESIGN! Luna Park – An immersive, multifunctional entertainment space spanning two decks, designed for interactive contests, parties, and themed events. It features LED screens, immersive environments, and energetic performances that put the audience right at the heart of the show. The main space is surrounded by immersive digital screens, ceiling projections, and dynamic lighting and sound. It hosts daily youth activities and transforms into the ship's main nightlife venue at night, with DJ sets and parties until the early hours.
NEW DESIGN! The Harbour – The Harbour returns to MSC World Asia with a stylish, Asian-inspired redesign. This expansive outdoor park features the Cliffhanger, a swing over the water that lifts passengers more than 50 meters above the ocean, making MSC World Asia the only ship in Europe with this attraction.
The Harbour will also house the longest dry slide at sea, starting from a striking Asian pagoda, the Tree of Life @The Spiral will transport guests 81.3 meters, descending 12 decks in seconds.
Families can also explore an exciting ropes course, water slides, and a dedicated children's playground. To refuel, the Harbour Bar & Bites offers a selection of food included in the price, perfect for enjoying a snack between adventures.
Panorama Lounge – Elegant by day, electric by night, the Panorama Lounge offers panoramic sea views, live music, and a spacious dance floor. During the day, it hosts enriching activities, from dance classes to acoustic performances. At night, it transforms into a lively lounge for cocktails and cabaret-style entertainment, creating a perfect blend of relaxation and refined fun in a chic and laid-back atmosphere.
World Theatre – The centerpiece of MSC Cruises' award-winning entertainment offering, the World Theatre offers spectacular shows every night, including musicals, acrobatic shows, concerts and international acts.
World Promenade – A vibrant open-air space located in the heart of the ship, where unique dining, relaxation, and entertainment options combine with breathtaking ocean views. From dazzling light shows and live music performances to colorful events like the LEGO® Parade and street dance shows, this space is a constant celebration. At The Sports Bar, you can recharge while playing games, and if you're looking for something sweet, Sweet Temptations will be your go-to spot with its wide variety of flavors.
