About MSC World Europa

The MSC World Europa is the first ship of the world class and has 40,000 sqm space for public areas. Additionally, a lot of technological innovations will be built, such as the NFC with which you can pay, use the board card or locate your kids. A special highlight of the MSC World Europa is the roofed inside promenade with the largest LED sky at sea, that offers you dreamy animations. In the 104 m long promenade you'll find boutiques, restaurants and quiet places that are perfect for eating or relaxing. In the evening the place becomes the middle-point of the cruise with music, events and entertainment. A very special cruise experience awaits families. With an area of 766 sqm, the ship offers an action-packed and diverse children's area with modern facilities for different age groups up to 17 years.

About MSC Cruises

Welcome aboard MSC Cruises! The cruise line was founded in 1970 and is the cruise division of the container shipping company Mediterranean Shipping Company. MSC Cruises is the world's largest privately family-owned cruise line (Aponte family) and has many years of expertise on the seven seas. The Aponte family has also established an independent charitable organisation, the MSC Foundation, which is also present on board and supports many humanitarian and environmental projects.

MSC Cruises offers its guests a Mediterranean and modern lifestyle at a good price-performance ratio. Guests of all ages feel at home on the sometimes colourful, sometimes understated ships. The ships are also well received on the German market and the number of German guests is growing steadily. A knowledge of English is recommended, although some services are also offered in German.

With the MSC Yacht Club, the ‘ship-within-a-ship concept’, MSC Cruises offers an exclusive area on selected ships with luxurious suites, its own restaurant with five-star service and other amenities.

MSC World Europa Sustainability

The MSC World Europa is the first MSC Cruises ship to be powered by LNG and is also equipped with a solid oxide fuel cell. The ship also has a shore power connection, which means that the ship's engines can be switched off in harbours with a shore power system and direct emissions can be avoided. A recycling program minimizes waste on board and the low-noise propellers ensure that marine life is not disturbed. According to the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the MSC World Europa is one of the ships with the lowest CO2 emissions. MSC Cruises has divided its strategy to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 for its ship operations into three areas: Ship and Engine Technology (including shore power connection), Operational Efficiency and Renewable Fuels.

MSC World Europa Staterooms

The MSC World Europa has many different cabin categories: You can choose from a total of 19 stateroom types. Many of them have their own balcony. This ship will also introduce new stateroom types that will delight you.
