MSC Cruises Unveils Five New Bar and Lounge Experiences on MSC World Asia

When MSC Asia debuts this December, it will feature five new offerings among the 40 bars, lounges, and cafes that will be onboard. New options will range from make-your-own sodas at the Clubhouse and Soda Bar to Italian aperitivos at The Terraces Bar & Lounge, among others.

Leading off the new bar and lounge experiences is the Clubhouse and Soda Bar, a colorful and playful space inspired by the nostalgia of the 1980s and 1990s. At the Soda Bar, guests can put their own spin the latest non-alcoholic drink trend by creating personalized sodas, choosing a soda base and adding cream, flavored syrups, and toppings.  

In the Clubhouse, families and friend groups can have fun with MSC Cruises-themed games and interactive digital tables, while younger guests can explore the LEGO area, while The Court offers bumper cars and other activities. As evening progresses into night, the space evolves into a lively social hub with a variety of cocktails and mocktails.

The Sky Box Bar within the Luna Park Arena on MSC World Asia will offer a sophisticated space to enjoy premium drinks and unique cocktails. Drawing inspiration from the imaginative world of early 20th-century Futurism, the cocktail menu will feature reimagined favorites, along with mixology theater.

The Terraces Bar & Lounge will offer panoramic sea views and a menu of Italian aperitivos that include classic likes Negroni and Aperol Spritz, as well as a curated selection of spritzes, wines, and Prosecco, complemented by traditional bites such as focaccia and olives. The venue will also offer live music and extra-fee expert-led wine tasting sessions.

Located with Coral Cove Pool, the Coral Cove Bar is inspired by the beauty of a Philippine coral reef. The menu features a selection of classic pool drinks.

Overlooking the Promenade, the Pan Asian Bar forms part of MSC World Asia’s Pan Asian Street Food restaurant, one of three venues within the concept inspired by Southeast Asian street food. The bar will offer Southeast Asian-inspired cocktails and beverages, including jasmine mojitos, rose and strawberry daiquiris, and matcha coladas. Guests can also enjoy a variety of beers from throughout Asia, as well as a specially crafted at sea drought beer called “Oceanic Asian.”

Alongside the new concepts, MSC World Asia will bring back some of MSC Cruises’ most popular bars and lounges, including the Coffee Emporium, the Fizz – Champagne Bar, the All-Stars Sports Bar, and Masters of the Sea, where beer is crafted at sea.

MSC World Asia debuts Dec. 4, 2026, with a seven-night Mediterranean cruise. It features 13 brand new experiences and reimagined spaces when compared with MSC’s first World Class ship, MSC World Europa.
