MSC World Asia to add five new bar and lounge concepts
The World Class ship is scheduled to begin seven-night Mediterranean itineraries in December 2026.
MSC Cruises plans to introduce five new bar and lounge venues aboard MSC World Asia, bringing the ship’s total collection to 40 bars, lounges and cafés. The vessel, described by the cruise line as the third in its World Class series, will feature design elements influenced by Asian culture, art and landscapes.
The family-oriented Clubhouse and Soda Bar will include games, interactive digital tables, a LEGO area and bumper cars. Guests will also be able to assemble non-alcoholic beverages using soda, flavored syrups, cream and toppings. Inside Luna Park Arena, Sky Box Bar will offer premium drinks, mixology demonstrations and cocktails drawing on early 20th-century Futurism.
The Terraces Bar & Lounge will focus on Italian aperitivos, wine and prosecco, accompanied by focaccia, olives, live music and wine tastings. Coral Cove Bar, positioned at Coral Cove Pool, will serve classic drinks. Overlooking the Promenade within the Pan Asian Street Food concept, Pan Asian Bar will feature Southeast Asian-inspired cocktails and beverages as well as a selection of Asian beers.
MSC World Asia is scheduled to begin service on Dec. 4, 2026, operating seven-night Mediterranean cruises that call at Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Civitavecchia, Messina and Valletta.
