About MSC World Europa
MSC World Europa launched the World Class in December 2022 as MSC Cruises’ first LNG-powered ship and the template for MSC World America, World Asia and World Atlantic. At 215,863 gross tons she carries up to 6,762 guests in 2,626 staterooms across 22 decks, with a crew of 2,138 and 430,000 square feet of public space. Her signature is the Y-shaped stern that opens onto the World Promenade, an outdoor boulevard about 340 feet long that is half open to the sky and half covered by an LED sky screen.
The Venom Drop @ The Spiral is a stainless-steel dry slide winding 11 decks down through the promenade. Dining spans 13 venues, including six specialty restaurants such as Chef’s Garden Kitchen, La Pescaderia and Butcher’s Cut, with three buffets, one open around the clock. Masters of the Sea brews its own beer across two decks, joined by the Raj Polo Tea House and Elixir mixology bar. The adults-only Zen Area, a Balinese-style MSC Aurea Spa and a family district with ten kids facilities round out the ship.
For summer 2026 MSC World Europa sails seven-night Western Mediterranean loops with embarkation in Genoa, Barcelona, Marseille, Naples, Messina and Valletta. For winter 2026 to 2027 she moves to the French Antilles for her first Caribbean season, sailing seven- and 14-night Southern Caribbean cruises from Fort-de-France, Pointe-à-Pitre and Bridgetown to St. Lucia, Grenada, St. Maarten, Antigua, St. Kitts, Dominica and St. Vincent, before returning to the Mediterranean for summer 2027. She suits Europe-minded cruisers who want a new mega ship, many restaurants and the MSC Yacht Club.
