MSC World Asia to Feature New Italian-Themed Bar, Soda Bar

Not one, not two, but five brand-new bars coming to MSC World Asia? That’s right, MSC Cruises has revealed that its upcoming flagship will feature five bar and lounge venues that are brand-new to the line. Of course, there will also be a number of passenger-favorite venues that will be returning aboard the ship, as well.

MSC World Asia is the third in MSC Cruises’ World class of ships, which are the largest vessels in the fleet. As its name suggests, MSC World Asia will feature subtle design elements that have been inspired by Asia’s culture, art, and landscapes, which carries over into its collection of bars and lounges. Compared to the first vessel in the class, MSC World Europa, this ship will include 13 brand-new experiences and reimagined spaces.

Clubhouse and Soda Bar

Inspired by the nostalgia of the 80s and 90s, Clubhouse & Soda Bar is designed for families and friends to come together, play, and create memories. At the Soda Bar, travelers can create their own personalized sodas, choosing a soda base and adding cream, flavored syrups, and toppings.

By day, the space will offer MSC Cruises-themed games, interactive digital tables, and challenges, while younger passengers and their families can explore the LEGO area and The Court which offers bumper cars for all ages. As evening falls, the space evolves into a social hub with a variety of cocktails and mocktails available.

Sky Box Bar

The Sky Box Bar within the Luna Park Arena will offer an intimate and sophisticated space to enjoy premium drinks and unique cocktails. Drawing inspiration from the imaginary world of early 20th century Futurism, the menu will reimagine timeless favorites with a modern touch. Patrons can watch expert bartenders bring their creations to life through mixology theater, adding an element of surprise to each beverage.
