MSC Cruises has announced various culinary and dining amenities for its upcoming flagship, the MSC World Asia, which is scheduled to begin seven-night Mediterranean itineraries on December 4, 2026.

Initial announcements highlighted the inclusion of the Italian dining concept Eataly, following its introduction on the MSC World America. This venue is expected to focus on regional specialties and classic Italian dishes, featuring show cooking and terrace dining.

Subsequent details revealed that the vessel will host over 40 bars, lounges, and restaurants, including 20 specific dining areas. New features include the Aqua Food Market on the Aqua Deck, which offers five international food stations serving customizable dishes such as salads, sandwiches, and loaded fries in a poolside setting. Other offerings include a Pan-Asian street food concept featuring items like bao buns, and various snack areas such as Promenade Bites, The Harbour Bar & Bites, and a 24-hour pizza and burger service near the Luna Park Arena. The ship’s design is inspired by the World Class series, incorporating elements that reflect Asian culture, art, and landscapes.
