The ship’s complimentary dining offerings will range from main restaurants and buffets to fast-casual venues and grab-and-go options for a quick bite between activities. Highlights include:

·       Aqua Food Market – Located on the Aqua Deck, this new fast-casual venue will feature five distinct food stalls serving a variety of global cuisines. Aqua Food Market will offer freshly prepared, customizable dishes in a casual poolside setting, with the option to dine at the venue or take food back to the pool. Choices include salads, loaded fries, sandwiches, pita breads or desserts.  

·        Buffet Grab & Go – Located on the Aqua Deck near the pool, the new concept Buffet Grab & Go will offer a selection of ready-to-go bites for guests looking for a quick snack between activities.

·       Pan-Asian On-the-Go – The new Pan-Asian Street Food concept will include a dedicated window serving complimentary street food-style bites during the day, including crispy seafood balls, fluffy bao buns and more. The on-the-go offering is one of three experiences within the venue alongside a specialty restaurant and bar.

·       Promenade Bites – Located in the Promenade district, Promenade Bites will serve a selection of complimentary savoury and sweet snacks.

·       The Harbour Bar & Bites – Families spending time in the Family Aventura district can stop by The Harbour Bar & Bites for complimentary grab-and-go savoury snacks, sweet treats and cold drinks.

·       Pizza & Burger – Located next to Luna Park in the World Galleria, the casual fast-food spot will serve pizza, burgers and quick snacks around the clock.

The complimentary venues will sit alongside MSC World Asia’s specialty dining experiences, with the ship offering 20 dining venues in total. These include five main dining restaurants including the exclusive MSC Yacht Club restaurant, six specialty concepts, two relaxed buffets and seven fast-casual and on-the-go options.
