The World Class Ships
MSC’s World Class ships are among the largest and most ambitious in the fleet, built in France and designed around a distinctive Y-shaped stern that opens onto the 104-metre World Promenade, an open-air boulevard lined with restaurants, bars and spectacular evening light shows.
Across seven pools, 13 or more restaurants, around 40 bars, dedicated family zones and expansive entertainment spaces, there is plenty to discover throughout the day. The two-deck Panorama Lounge and Luna Park Arena add to the variety, while signature attractions bring a sense of adventure: Venom Drop on World Europa, Jaw Drop on World America and, on World Asia, The Spiral at the Tree of Life, at 81 metres, the longest dry slide at sea.
Whether you’re travelling as a family, celebrating with a group or looking for a stylish escape for two, World Class ships are designed to give you more choice, more space and something happening around every corner.
