MSC Cruises has revealed six standout attractions on MSC World Asia six months before its first sailing. The ship receives its official name on 28 November 2026 in Le Havre, France. Mediterranean itineraries begin from Barcelona on 4 December 2026.
Cliffhanger provides an over-water swing ride 50 metres above the sea while The Spiral at Tree of Life creates the longest dry slide at sea measuring 81.3 metres. Twin Racer and U Drop waterslides operate alongside a two-level Adventure Trail high ropes course. The MSC Formula Racer simulator and MSC Luna Park Arena complete the new entertainment line-up.
The vessel features more than 40 bars and restaurants together with seven pools and 13 hot tubs. A seven-night itinerary from Genoa in January 2027 costs from €819 per person. The ship visits Civitavecchia, Messina, Valletta, Barcelona and Marseille.
Gianni Onorato shared “Our World Class ships have been a great success with guests, and MSC World Asia marks the next step in this journey.”
