MSC World Asia to offer largest number of Yacht Club suites 

A Royal Duplex Suite spanning two decks will feature as part of an expanded range of Yacht Club accommodation on new MSC Cruises ship MSC World Asia.

 

The vessel, which is due to enter service on December 4, 2026 in the Mediterranean, will feature 144 ‘ship within a ship’ suites across seven categories.

 

Other facilities include a bi-level private sundeck, a pool and grill for al fresco dining on the foredecks of the ship.

 

The Royal Duplex Suite includes two separate bedrooms and  a private balcony with whirlpool bath. 

 

At 53 square metres in size, the space can accommodate up to six passengers.

 

The third ship in the company’s World Class series will feature cruises covering Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Civitavecchia for Rome, Messina and Valletta in Malta in its maiden winter season.

 

Seven-night itineraries in summer 2027 include Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Naples, Messina and Valletta.

 

Yacht Club and hotel services senior director Cristian Comiria said: "MSC World Asia will provide an unparalleled cruise experience when she sets sail in the Mediterranean next year. 

 

“Guests can expect to find all of the facilities and services that they have come to know and love about the MSC Yacht Club, and with the exciting addition of the new Royal Duplex Suite, there’s also something new to discover. 

 

“This new suite is perfect for larger groups and families to enjoy the benefits of MSC Yacht Club while still having access to the excitement of the ship’s entertainment, dining venues and other amenities.”
