MSC Cruises is set to make waves once again when MSC World Asia sets sail in December 2026. As the newest World-class ship in the fleet, she will introduce an unprecedented range of entertainment venues, ensuring there’s never a dull moment for guests of all ages. From retro-inspired gaming spaces and adrenaline-pumping attractions to elegant lounges and immersive nightlife, this flagship is poised to redefine fun at sea.
The ship will operate seven-night itineraries through winter 2026/27, taking travellers to Spain, France, Italy, and beyond, blending destination-rich voyages with world-class onboard activities.
Introducing The Clubhouse
At the heart of MSC World Asia’s new entertainment offerings is The Clubhouse, a vibrant, retro-themed venue designed for high-energy fun. This all-ages destination will mix the charm of nostalgic gaming halls with modern touches, creating an environment where families and friends can bond over shared experiences.
Classic Games with a Modern Twist
The Clubhouse will feature beloved activities like table games, giving guests the chance to enjoy friendly competition. Whether it’s a quick round of billiards or a strategic board game session, the space invites both casual players and avid gamers to relax and connect.
Action for the Young and Young-at-Heart
The Lego Family Zone is a dedicated area where creativity and imagination take centre stage, allowing children to engage in hands-on play inspired by the world-famous toy brand. For thrill-seekers, bumper cars offer a burst of lighthearted chaos, while basketball and roller skating keep the energy levels high.
Social Connection at Sea
More than just an activity hub, The Clubhouse is designed as a social anchor for the ship, providing a space where passengers can meet new people, join in group activities, or simply watch the action unfold. It’s a place where laughter and friendly rivalry flow freely, enhancing the sense of community onboard.
Luna Park Gets a Bold Upgrade
Luna Park, a fan-favourite venue across the fleet, returns on MSC World Asia with an entirely new look and feel. Spanning two decks, it combines immersive technology with dynamic social experiences.
By Day: A Hub for Youth Activities
During daylight hours, Luna Park will host engaging youth programmes, offering everything from themed events to tech-driven games. The space’s digital displays, ceiling projections, and adaptable lighting allow for complete transformations depending on the activity.
By Night: A Vibrant Nightclub
As the sun sets, Luna Park becomes a fully-fledged nightclub, complete with DJ sets, themed parties, and a lively dance floor. The newly added bar enhances the venue’s nightlife appeal, offering crafted cocktails and mocktails to keep the atmosphere buzzing well into the night.
Technology Meets Entertainment
The combination of projection mapping, lighting effects, and high-quality sound turns Luna Park into a multi-sensory playground. Guests can expect unique parties and themed nights that feel different every time they step inside.
The Harbour: Outdoor Fun with an Asian-Inspired Touch
The Harbour, an open-air recreation park, will feature an elegant Asian-inspired redesign aboard MSC World Asia, creating a peaceful yet exciting outdoor escape.
Signature Attractions for Every Age
The star of The Harbour is Cliffhanger, an over-water swing ride that sends guests soaring up to 50 metres above the sea. This will make MSC World Asia the only ship in Europe to offer such a thrilling attraction. Families can also enjoy the longest dry slide at sea, which spirals guests from the ship’s upper decks to the lower levels in record time.
High-Energy Outdoor Adventures
For those seeking a mix of challenge and fun, the high ropes course offers sweeping ocean views alongside a test of balance and agility. Complementing these are the water slides, a dedicated children’s playground, and interactive play areas that keep younger passengers entertained for hours.
Relaxation Meets Refreshment
After all the action, guests can unwind with a complimentary snack at The Harbour Bar & Bites, the perfect spot to refuel with a drink or light meal while taking in panoramic sea views.
