MSC’s World Asia to Debut in Europe

World Asia

MSC Cruises has opened sales for MSC World Asia, which will begin sailing in the Mediterranean in December 2026.

The third World Class ship will offer seven-night voyages starting December 11, for the winter 2026-27 season, visiting Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Civitavecchia, Messina and Valletta, with embarkation available at each port.

The 5,400-guest ship will continue operating week-long cruises in the Mediterranean in summer 2027.

Gianni Onorato, CEO of MSC Cruises said: “We have chosen to deploy our latest flagship in the Western Mediterranean as it is our most popular region. MSC World Asia will further enhance our lineup in the region, giving guests even more choice of embarkation ports and itineraries for their winter escape or summer holiday. As with each of our new ships, we’ll introduce innovative new concepts, venues and services to deliver the ultimate cruise experience for our guests.”

 The MSC World Asia will be the third in the cruise line’s LNG-powered World Class series, following the MSC World Europa in 2022 and MSC World America, which will debut in the Caribbean Sea from Miami in April.
