MSC Cruises expands its culinary offering aboard MSC World Asia

MSC Cruises has revealed details on the included dining options aboard MSC World Asia, the fleet’s new flagship set to debut in the Mediterranean next December. The ship will host no fewer than twenty different venues, introducing the widest selection of quick snacks and complimentary restaurants ever seen in the company’s history.

The most interesting novelty is located on the pool deck: the Aqua Food Market, an’ informal area with five kiosks dedicated to freshly prepared dishes, from sandwiches to pita kebabs, salads, and fried specialties. Alongside it debuts a dining spot designed for those who want a quick break without straying far from the sun loungers, while lovers of oriental flavors will find a showcase dedicated to Asian street food, with steamed bao and fish balls served complimentary throughout the day.

The offering has been distributed throughout every area of the ship to avoid crowding, especially in spots most frequented by families. In the indoor gallery, a corner with sweets and savory snacks will open, the play area will host a bar with snacks for the little ones, and next to the Luna Park rides, a space for pizza and burgers will always remain open at any hour.

With over forty venues including bars, lounges, and restaurants, MSC World Asia will set sail on December 4, 2026, for its inaugural season. Weekly itineraries in the Western Mediterranean will call at Barcelona, Marseille, Valletta, and the Italian ports of Genoa, Civitavecchia, Naples, and Messina.
