Inside MSC Cruises' brand new ship World America launching next year
MSC Cruises' latest World Class ship, MSC World America, will officially enter service in April 2025.
The cruise line previously announced that its ultramodern new flagship will feature seven distinct districts, each bringing together a range of tailored experiences with a particular focus on family cruising.
The ship blends American comfort and European design and will offer guests everything from a relaxing tropical escape or an action-packed holiday.
It will feature seven distinct districts, each with its own atmosphere, facilities and experiences.
From a dedicated family area or tranquil zen area through to a lively promenade with entertainment, shops and bars - a world of options awaits for guests.
You'll find six pools and 14 hot tubs onboard, including a spacious indoor pool with retractable roof and twin adults-only Zen pools at the aft of the ship.
At the heart of the Family Aventura district lies The Harbour, a revolutionary new outdoor park.
The Harbour offers an exhilarating high ropes course, a thrilling new state-of-the-art Cliffhanger attraction, the only over-water swing ride at sea, a family dwelling area, and a playground modelled after the iconic lighthouse at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in The Bahamas.
MSC World America will offer the brand's largest and most technologically advanced kids' area yet, spanning more than 1,000sqm across seven different rooms and catering to guests ages 0-17.
It will include new programmes and facilities developed in partnership with the LEGO Group, including a dedicated LEGO room as well as a 'first time in the cruise industry' LEGO parade.
MSC World America will have 13 restaurants onboard, including six specialty restaurants.
There will be two brand new concepts alongside guest favourites like Butcher's Cut steakhouse, Kaito Sushi and Teppanyaki, and Hola! Tacos and Cantina
Trendy Italian spot Eataly is opening its first branch at sea on the ship.
The company, which started in Italy and now has restaurants around the world including in London, New York and Dubai will offer food and wine on MSC World America.
Pasta will be made on board, with an open kitchen sowing off the process to passengers.
The ship has 20 bars and lounges, including a new Sports Bar and Comedy Club where evenings will begin with an interactive and comical duelling pianos experience followed by sets from comedians that are promised to rival some of the best shows in NYC and Chicago.
In the Sportplex, guests will find a large and dynamic gaming space equipped with everything from basketball and tennis courts to interactive game shows and even bumper cars and roller skating.
There will be a dedicated sports programme on offer, which includes an evolution of Football, Basketball, Zorb ball sessions, Pickleball, and Hoverboards.
The striking 11-deck-high dry slide is made of stainless steel, giving guests a fun way to reach the lower decks in style.
