In less than six months, MSC Cruises’ next new mega ship, MSC World Asia, will make its debut. The ship will have new entertainment, dining and family experiences as it sails to some of the most sought after destinations in the world.
MSC World Asia will be the cruise line’s third World class ship and debut on December 4, 2026. Here is a look at six experiences that will be offered on this new ship.
The Cliffhanger
For the first time in Europe, guests aboard MSC World Asia will be able to experience Cliffhanger, the cruise line’s exhilarating over-water swing ride towering 164 feet above the open sea.
The attraction propels riders back and forth high above the ocean, delivering breathtaking views and a one-of-a-kind thrill.
The Spiral @ Tree of Life
The Spiral @ Tree of Life will be the the longest dry slide on any cruise ship at 266 feet. It will offer guests a thrilling ride spanning 11 decks in just seconds.
Inspired by the iconic trees of Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay, the striking architectural feature blends adrenaline and design while tying into the ship’s Asia-inspired elements.
The Twin Racer & U Drop Waterslides
Guests who are looking for high-speed fun can race side-by-side on the Twin Racer waterslides or take on the U Drop slide for thrills high above the deck.
They are both designed for friendly competition and shared moments, the attractions bring even more energy to the Family Aventura district.
Adventure Trail High Ropes Course
The Adventure Trail ropes course will challenge guests to test their balance and bravery across a two-level course suspended above the ocean.
It will span 6,210 square feet and feature Sky Rails similar to a zip line, the attraction combines adrenaline-fueled fun with spectacular sea views.
The MSC Formula Racer
Formula 1 fans, there’s going to be something just for you. The MSC Formula Racer in the Hall of Games will offer guests an immersive racing simulation experience.
The two-seat simulator will allow guests to virtually drive a high-speed Formula 1 car, reflecting MSC Cruises’ ongoing global partnership with Formula 1.
The MSC Luna Park Arena
MSC Luna Park Arena is set to become one of MSC Cruises’ most innovative and interactive entertainment venues to date. Using immersive digital technology, the floor will transform into an interactive arena where guests can compete in dynamic gaming experiences, a first of its kind for MSC Cruises.
The venue will also host original game shows including Code Breakers, Labyrinth and Chart Toppers, alongside high-energy themed parties and entertainment across two decks.
Gianni Onorato, CEO of MSC Cruises, gave the following statement about this new ship:
“Our World Class ships have been a great success with guests, and MSC World Asia, the third of eight in this class, marks the next step in this journey. As we look ahead to her inaugural Mediterranean season, we are proud to continue delivering ships that reflect our vision, innovation, beautiful design, and focus on the guest experience, with each one raising the bar even further.
“I’m also proud to announce that Captain Paolo Benini will take the helm of MSC World Asia, in recognition of his outstanding leadership on MSC Euribia, including during its recent deployment in Dubai. Having joined MSC Cruises in 2024 with a distinguished maritime career, he is widely respected for his calm, people-focused command and is the ideal choice to lead this remarkable new flagship.”
