MSC World Asia Sets Sail: Countdown to Its 2026 Maiden Voyage Begins!
MSC Cruises has announced that its newest ship, MSC World Asia, is set to launch in December 2026, marking the third ship in the highly anticipated WORLD Class series. This vessel will offer 7-night cruises in the Mediterranean during the winter 2026-2027 season, alongside a revised itinerary for summer 2027.
MSC World Asia’s design features elements inspired by Asian culture and maintains the distinct characteristics of its sister ships, such as a vertical bow and a unique Y-shaped stern that opens onto an open-air promenade. Onboard, passengers can expect a variety of new attractions as well as returning favorites. Notably, "The Harbour" is an Asian-themed outdoor park complete with a high-ropes course, waterslides, and the longest dry slide at sea, descending from 12 decks.
Additional entertainment options will include an upgraded Luna Park for game shows and themed events, a family-friendly Clubhouse with activities for children and adults, and a spacious World Promenade that offers open-air dining, lounging, and live entertainment with ocean views.
The ship will boast an array of dining options ranging from upscale specialty restaurants to casual street food venues, ensuring a diverse gastronomic experience. Accommodation types will cater to various guest needs, featuring suites and balcony cabins. The thoughtful onboard design incorporates distinct districts, allowing travelers to navigate the ship easily while personalizing their experience.
Set to debut in winter 2026, MSC World Asia aims to bring a fresh cultural perspective to the World Class fleet, combining modern amenities with thematic design and a wide array of options for Mediterranean voyages.
