MSC Cruises has revealed an exciting new lineup of family entertainment aboard its latest flagship, MSC World Asia.

The ship will operate seven-night voyages to some of the Mediterranean's most loved ports, including Barcelona, Marseille, Naples, Rome and Valletta.

At the centre of it all sits the Family Aventura District, a lively hub that brings together spaces like The Clubhouse, The Harbour, and the Doremiland kids' club. It's designed to give families fresh ways to play and bond together at sea.

MSC Luna Park Arena is set to become one of the cruise line's most groundbreaking venues. The entire floor uses cutting-edge digital technology to transform into an interactive gaming space – a first for any MSC ship.
