Following the delivery of MSC World Europa last week, MSC Cruises’ most exciting ship to date is now en route to Doha, Qatar ready for her Naming Ceremony on 13 November.
The new ship spans 22 decks, and is 47 metres wide, with 2,626 cabins, boasting more than 40,000m2 of public space.
Waiting for guests onboard is the World Promenade, the beating heart of the ship.
The 104-metre-long outdoor World Promenade is a hub of entertainment with stunning sea views and home to The Venom Drop @ The Spiral – the longest dry slide at sea spanning 11 decks.
Connected to this is the World Galleria spanning 2,214m2 and topped with an LED and kinetic dome ceiling – this indoor promenade is the perfect place to shop, dine and relax with a drink.
Onboard, guests can look forward to 33 restaurants, bars and lounges, each with its own distinct style and ambience.
Dining options include 6 speciality restaurants and 7 brand-new bar and café concepts. Highlights include:
- Chef’s Garden Kitchen in collaboration with Michelin-starred chef, TV personality and author Niklas Ekstedt.
