MSC has unveiled the retail offering that will be available to guests on its upcoming ship, the MSC World Asia, which recently embarked on sea trials. 

Following its delivery in November, the ship will offer seven-night sailings to Mediterranean destinations including Barcelona, Marseille, Messina, Civitavecchia for Rome, Naples and Valletta, starting December 4, 2026. 

MSC Cruises Senior Vice President Onboard Revenue, Georg Schmickler said: “With MSC World Asia inviting guests to experience The Art of Cruising, we are delighted to offer an exceptional onboard shopping experience that reflects the spirit of the journey.

“From world-renowned brands and fine watches to fashion jewelry, cosmetics and the latest electronics, our carefully curated selection offers something special for every guest. We look forward to creating an inspiring shopping experience at sea, helping guests discover meaningful keepsakes that will remind them of their voyage long after they return home.”

For the first time on an MSC Cruises ship, dedicated retail experiences will also be introduced in two family-focused venues, according to a company statement. 

Located in The Harbour and The Clubhouse, the pop-up retail spaces will offer a selection of themed collectibles, branded merchandise and keepsakes, ranging from family games and T-shirts to tote bags, towels and exclusive souvenirs. 

Apart from this, guests will be able to shop in the outdoor World Promenade and the indoor World Galleria, including for fragrances from brands such as Xerjoff, Parfums de Marly, Jo Malone London, Chanel and Dior, as well as jewelry collections from Swarovski.

In addition to Omega, where guests can discover the Swiss watchmaker’s collection, TimeVallée will offer multi-brand luxury watches, including those by Breitling, Cartier, Chopard watches & jewelry, Hublot, IWC, Panerai or Tag Heuer. 

At Fine Jewelry and World of Jewels, pieces by designers including Messika, Damiani and Maison Heavenly will be offered. 

Two retail spaces, showcasing collections of luxury bags and accessories from designer brands as well as other fashion essentials, will be available at Luxury Accessories and Boutique.

The cruise line added that an exclusive collection of MSC-branded products and signature merchandise will also be available at the MSC shop, while those looking for unique souvenirs can transform their iris into a work of art at the Iris Galerie, or take professional photos at The Hub.

The retail offering will complement the recently unveiled dining and entertainment options onboard.
