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.
