MSC Cruises Reveals Included Dining Options for MSC World Asia

MSC Cruises has revealed details of the included dining offering aboard the MSC World Asia, the company's new flagship, which will begin sailing the Mediterranean this December with more complimentary and grab-and-go options than any other ship in the line's fleet to date.

Among the main novelties is the Aqua Food Market, a new casual quick-service dining venue on the Aqua Deck featuring five food stalls inspired by Europe's coastal towns, offering customizable dishes such as salads, loaded fries, sandwiches, pita bread and desserts, available to eat on-site or take away by the pool. Nearby, the Grab & Go Buffet will offer ready-to-go bites designed for a quick snack between activities.

The Pan-Asian On-the-Go concept will add a street food window available at no extra charge during the day, serving crispy seafood balls and bao buns, as one of three dining experiences at this venue alongside a specialty restaurant and a bar. Also returning are Promenade Bites, offering sweet and savory snacks along the main promenade; The Harbour Bar & Bites in the Family Aventura zone, with grab-and-go bites and cold drinks; and Pizza & Burger, located next to Luna Park in the World Galleria, serving pizzas, burgers and snacks around the clock.

These included venues will complement the ship's specialty dining offerings, bringing the total to 20 dining options, including five main restaurants -one of them exclusive to MSC Yacht Club guests-, six specialty concepts, two casual buffets, and seven quick-service and grab-and-go venues. The MSC World Asia will begin sailing on December 4, 2026, with seven-night Mediterranean itineraries calling at Barcelona, Marseille, Messina, Civitavecchia, Naples and Valletta.
