About MSC World Asia

In addition to the MSC World Europe and the MSC World America, the third ship in the MSC World class is now following. The MSC World Asia, which is expected to set sail in 2026, will be inspired by the Asian continent, which will be reflected not only in the name, but also in the design and the on-board experiences. Stay tuned, more details will be released in the coming weeks!

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 Asia Sustainability

MSC World Asia will be the fourth ship in the MSC Cruises fleet to be powered by LNG. Like all other new MSC Cruises ships, MSC World Asia will also be equipped with shore power connections as standard, allowing the ship's engines to be switched off in port when shore power is available. Smart technologies throughout the ship will ensure that guests can travel in comfort while keeping energy and water consumption low. A robust onboard recycling program minimizes waste, and even the ship's propulsion systems are designed to be quiet and not disturb marine life.

MSC World Asia staterooms

More than 20 different stateroom types await you on board: from luxurious suites and family staterooms to balcony staterooms with a view of the promenade or the sea.

Atmosphere on board the MSC World Asia

The MSC World Asia is the third ship in the World Class series and reflects the rich culture, art and landscape of Asia. She has seven different themed areas, each with its own atmosphere, offerings and experiences. The heart of the ship is the World Promenade: in this open and lively area at the heart of the ship you will find breathtaking sea views, culinary experiences, lounges and entertainment.

MSC World Asia Restaurants, bars & lounges

In total, there will be more than 40 bars, lounges and restaurants on board the MSC World Asia. These include six specialty restaurants with classics such as Hola! Tacos & Cantina, Butcher's Cut or Kaito Sushi, but two new restaurant concepts will also be on board the fleet for the first time. One of the new restaurants will be a Pan-Asian specialty restaurant that will bring you closer to the diversity of Southeast Asia.

You can also look forward to the popular meeting places such as the Master of the Sea Pub or the Coffee Emporium. Sweet tooths will be happy at Sweet Temptations: here you will find ice cream, cakes, crêpes, frozen yoghurt and much more. In the Sports Bar you will find the perfect area for sports enthusiasts and classic American comfort food.

MSC World Asia Entertainment, sports and wellness

Look forward to the new The Clubhouse area! This lively retro-style meeting place offers families fun together with board games, the LEGO Family Zone, bumper cars, basketball, and roller skating. Another highlight on board the MSC World Asia is The Harbour. This innovative outdoor park in the Family Aventura area is perfect for family moments together. Do you want to experience excitement? Then try the Cliffhanger - an exciting overwater swing located 50 meters above the sea. Or slide down the longest dry slide at sea at 81.3 meters. It offers fast-paced fun across 12 decks and is inspired by the trees in Singapore's famous “Gardens by the Bay”. During the day, Luna Park Arena offers an exciting entertainment program for young people, and in the evening it transforms into a central party location. The ship is equipped with a total of seven pools and 13 whirlpools. You will find relaxation in the Adults Only Zen pools and in the Aurea Spa. If you want to stay or get fit, the modern fitness studio powered by Technogym is the right place for you. You will also find round-the-clock entertainment with great stage shows, live music, interactive programs and more.
