MSC World Asia: The Final Countdown to Its Exciting 2026 Maiden Voyage Begins!
MSC Cruises has announced the upcoming launch of its latest ship, MSC World Asia, which is set to begin operations in December 2026. This vessel, part of the WORLD Class series, will feature seven-night Mediterranean cruises during the winter 2026-2027 season, followed by a new itinerary for summer 2027.
MSC World Asia will showcase a design influenced by Asian culture while maintaining stylistic elements common to her sister ships, such as a unique vertical bow and a Y-shaped aft that leads to an open-air promenade.
Onboard, guests can look forward to a range of exciting venues, which include "The Harbour," an outdoor park inspired by Asian themes that features a high-rope course and the longest dry slide at sea, which stretches down 12 decks. The ship will also host a revamped Luna Park for game shows and themed events, a family-oriented Clubhouse with activities for both children and adults, and an expansive World Promenade that blends open-air dining, lounging, and live entertainment amid stunning ocean views.
Dining options will range from upscale specialty restaurants to casual street-food offerings, catering to diverse culinary preferences. Accommodations will include suites, balcony cabins, and a variety of room types designed to meet different guest needs. The distinct onboard districts will help passengers navigate and personalize their cruising experience.
With a launch set for winter 2026, MSC World Asia aims to enrich the World Class fleet with its modern amenities and culturally inspired design, offering guests a unique Mediterranean cruising experience.
