MSC Cruises is revealing new details on The Harbour and Aqua Deck district on board its newest flagship, MSC World Asia, marking the next evolution of the brand’s family and outdoor entertainment experience.

Building on the successful debut onboard MSC World America, The Harbour will continue to serve as a thrilling outdoor park for families to play and dine from morning to night and will be the first Harbour for guests to enjoy in Europe.

REVAMPED! The Harbour

Reflecting the theme of the ship, the newly revamped Harbour on MSC World Asia will feature an Asian-inspired design where parents, children and thrill seekers can come together, eat and play and soak up the sun in a revolutionary outdoor park within the Family Aventura district.

Guests of all ages will enjoy The Harbour’s activities with varying levels of thrill including:

Cliffhanger: This exhilarating over-water swing ride towers 50 metres above the ocean, providing outstanding views as riders are propelled back and forth for a one-of-a-kind, edge-of-your-seat thrill.

Adventure Trail High Ropes Course: Offering the ultimate challenge, this exhilarating two-level ropes course will span 6,210 square feet and include two Sky Rails similar to a zip line. Guests can get their adrenaline pumping and test their balance while enjoying sea views from new heights.

The Harbour Aquapark: Featuring an impressive blend of heart-pounding waterslides and a fun-filled splash area, The Harbour Aquapark promises to deliver fun for all ages. From a 90-degree vertical drop slide to a raft slide and duelling body slides to race against a friend, a whole day can be spent here enjoying the rides and soaking up the sun.

The Harbour Bar & Bites: Presenting a selection of delicious, complimentary grab-and-go bites and refreshing drinks, The Harbour Bar & Bites will serve as the perfect place to refuel while spending a day in the sun.

NEW – The Play Deck: A relaxed outdoor space designed for kids of all ages and built to encourage connection and interaction within families. It combines comfortable seating with simple, playful elements for kids and families to enjoy.

LONGEST AT SEA! The Tree of Life @ The Spiral: This 11-deck spiral slide will combine elegant Asian-inspired design with an adrenaline-pumping experience, taking guests from The Harbour to the heart of the World Promenade in a matter of seconds.
