MSC World Asia Premiere: 5 New Concept Bars for an Unforgettable Mediterranean Cruise
MSC Cruises continues to reveal details about its new flagship from the innovative World Class fleet - MSC World Asia
In addition to an impressive selection of more than 40 bars, lounges and cafés, the cruise line has unveiled five entirely new concept venues.
These new concepts are about much more than drinks: they offer an atmosphere of indulgence and discovery, striking the perfect balance between peaceful seclusion and vibrant entertainment.
Five new bars and lounges on board MSC World Asia: The Terraces Bar & Lounge - a classic Italian aperitivo with sea views**
This is the perfect venue for guests who appreciate European traditions. Designed for relaxing evenings at sunset, the lounge serves classic cocktails such as Negroni and Aperol Spritz, along with selected wines and prosecco.
2. Sky Box Bar — sophisticated mixology in a futuristic setting**
Located inside the modern Luna Park Arena, this intimate venue offers premium spirits and signature cocktails. It is an excellent choice for a refined drink before a show or a quiet late-night conversation.
3. Pan Asian Bar — the flavours and aromas of Southeast Asia
Located on the promenade within the Pan-Asian street food area, this bar offers a distinctive drinks menu featuring jasmine mojitos, strawberry and rose daiquiris, matcha coladas, rare Asian beers and the signature draught drink **Oceanic Asia**.
4. Coral Cove Bar — relaxed poolside moments
The elegant Coral Cove pool area draws inspiration from the natural beauty of the Philippines’ coral reefs. It is an ideal place to unwind during the day and enjoy classic refreshing drinks without leaving the poolside area.
5. Clubhouse and Soda Bar — a family-friendly venue for cruises with children and grandchildren
If you are travelling with the whole family, this venue is sure to become a favourite gathering place. Inspired by the nostalgic style of the 1980s and 1990s, it features interactive tables, LEGO areas and a race track.
During the day, guests can create their own customised sodas with a choice of syrups and toppings. In the evening, the venue transforms into a cosy lounge serving mocktails and cocktails.
Alongside these exciting additions, several popular MSC fleet favourites will return:
* the iconic Coffee Emporium;
* the sophisticated Fizz Champagne Bar;
* All Stars Sports Bar;
* the traditional Masters of the Sea pub, featuring its own brewery on board.
The ship’s inaugural season will begin on 4 December 2026.
