MSC World Europa will have more than 100 hours of live entertainment per cruise, including high-tech games, LEGO® adventures and much more spanning over 8,245 square feet across seven distinct spaces
MSC Cruises’ upcoming MSC World Europa will offer more exciting family offerings with more space and activities than ever before. The cruise line revealed plans for entertaining all ages onboard its most innovative, environmentally advanced, and exciting new flagship to date, which is set to enter service in December 2022.
As a family-owned company, MSC Cruises is known for its award-winning family offerings, delivering an unforgettable cruise experience for kids of all ages and their families. MSC World Europa is set to take those offerings to the next level with an incredible list of new features.
“We have invested heavily in the entertainment offerings for our younger guests, and we know they value the latest technology, trends and experiences. We have worked to introduce real innovations in both the design of the facilities as well as the development of an incredible program of activities, all carefully planned to ensure that the differing needs of all age groups are met – from our youngest guests to teenagers. More than 350,000 young people have travelled with us over the years, and we have listened to their feedback. MSC World Europa reflects these learnings and we have been inspired to create experiences that blend technology and social media with activity and sport to create fresh and new entertainment for the kids who sail with us.” said, Matteo Mancini, Kids’ Entertainment Manager.
