MSC Cruises new ship MSC World Asia sailing.

MSC World Asia

Discover MSC World Asia

MSC World Asia is the third World Class ship from MSC Cruises, joining the fleet in December 2026 with a fresh collection of restaurants, bars, family attractions and entertainment spaces. Her design takes subtle inspiration from Asian culture, art and landscapes, while retaining the expansive outdoor spaces and distinctive World Promenade found across MSC's World Class ships.

At the heart of the ship, a spectacular illuminated dragon sculpture hangs above the World Promenade, while completely new venues include The Clubhouse, Pan-Asian Street Food and a collection of new bars and lounges. MSC World Asia also introduces 13 new or reimagined experiences compared with MSC World Europa, giving the ship a strong identity of her own rather than simply repeating the original World Class design.

MSC World Asia begins sailing seven-night Mediterranean cruises from 4 December 2026, continuing through 2027 and summer 2028. During winter 2027/28, she is scheduled to head to the Southern Caribbean.

MSC World Asia - Zen Pool Adults Only

Zen Pool

Relax at the adults-only Zen Pool, a calmer open-air retreat designed for sunbathing, swimming and enjoying sea views away from the livelier family areas.

Cabins & Suites on MSC World Asia

MSC World Asia offers one of the widest accommodation selections in the MSC fleet, ranging from Interior and Ocean View cabins to Balcony cabins overlooking either the sea or World Promenade. Infinite Ocean View cabins feature sliding windows that open the accommodation towards the sea, while a broad collection of suites offers additional space and larger terraces.

MSC Yacht Club includes 144 suites and introduces the new Royal Duplex Suite, with two bedrooms and accommodation for up to six guests. Yacht Club guests also have access to a private restaurant, Top Sail Lounge, pool and sundeck, alongside 24-hour butler and concierge service.
