NEW VENUE! The Clubhouse

The Clubhouse is a vibrant, retro-inspired space where families come together for high-energy fun and creative play. Designed with a playful, timeless aesthetic, it blends classic table games, the LEGO® Family Zone, bumper cars, basketball, and roller skating. It’s a dynamic venue that evolves throughout the day – offering playful bonding moments for kids and adults alike, and feel-good evening entertainment in a lively, social setting.

NEW DESIGN! Luna Park – Building on a well-loved venue from MSC Cruises’ World Class ships, this multi-purpose, immersive entertainment venue spans two decks, designed for interactive game shows, parties, and themed events. Expect LED displays, immersive environments, and high-energy performances that draw the audience right into the heart of the show.​ The main arena space is wrapped in immersive digital displays, ceiling projections, and dynamic lighting and sound. It will host daily youth activities and act as the ship's main nightclub venue in the evenings, with curated DJ sets and party experiences running well past midnight. Guests can also enjoy a newly designed bar at Luna Park, with more details to be revealed soon.

NEW DESIGN! The Harbour - The Harbour returns to MSC World Asia with an elegant Asian-inspired redesign. This expansive outdoor park features the Cliffhanger - an exhilarating over-water swing ride sending guests over 164 feet above the ocean, making MSC World Asia the only ship in Europe to offer the thrilling attraction.

The Harbour will also be home to the longest dry slide at sea, beginning from a striking Asian pagoda. The Tree of Life @The Spiral will transport guests 266.7 feet, down 12 decks in a matter of seconds.

Families can also explore a thrilling high ropes course, waterslides, and a dedicated children's playground. To recharge, The Harbour Bar & Bites offers a complimentary food selection, perfect for enjoying tasty treats between adventures.

Panaroma 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. By night, it becomes a lively lounge for cocktail hours and cabaret-style entertainment, creating a perfect fusion of relaxation and refined fun in a chic, laid-back atmosphere.​

World Theatre - The centerpiece of MSC Cruises’ award-winning entertainment offering, the World Theatre, delivers spectacular stage shows every evening, including musicals, acrobatic shows, concerts, and international acts. Multiple seatings each night gives guests the flexibility to enjoy a show that fits their schedule.

World Promenade – MSC World Asia’s stunning open-air boardwalk, the World Promenade, is where the ship truly comes alive thanks to unique dining, lounging and entertainment options paired with stunning ocean views. From dazzling light shows and live music performances to colorful events like the LEGO® Parade and street-style dance showcases, it's a constant celebration. Stop by The Sports Bar for game-time energy or indulge your sweet tooth at Sweet Temptations, catering to a wide variety of tastes.

MSC World Asia will sail seven-night itineraries to Barcelona (Spain), Marseille (France), Genoa, Civitavecchia for Rome, Messina (Italy) and Valletta (Malta) with accessible embarkation in every port during Winter 2026/27.
