Below you'll find the Sportsplex, a two-story glass enclosed space where you can play basketball and soccer and will also feature bumper cars and a roller disco. During the day it can host for example kids' entertainment such as drone academy and in the evening it can be turned into a nightclub. Here, the ship will grow its own microgreens as well as selected vegetables, which will then be served in the restaurants in what Van Staden is calling a "farm to table" or "farm to ocean to table" concept. The tea house will offer artfully blended teas including Assam, Masala chai, Darjeeling served in bone china by white-gloved waiters. Trendier beverage options will also be on offer such as cold-brewed and iced tea selections, tea infused cocktails, and tea digestives with tasty accoutrements. The area will be flanked by LED palm trees, some 10 decks high and two indoor/outdoor restaurants atop.
Hapag-Lloyd Cruises resumes operations by the end of July
But whether you choose an inside room, one with a balcony or even a suite, MSC has raised the bar on its cabin design. Mattresses are noticeably more comfortable than in past, and stateroom bathrooms -- always well designed on past ships -- seem to have been tweaked further here to offer more shower space and better countertop design. Kudos, too, for MSC's reliance on pump soap in its signature fragrance as opposed to weird little bars of soap.

MSC World Europa and MSC Euribia were, respectively, the 15th and 16th boats constructed by Chantiers de l'Atlantique for MSC. During the special event, the ship was presented under the name "MSC World Europa". The ship's Mediterranean itinerary program is based on 7-night roundtrips from homeports in Italy (Genoa, Naples, Messina Sicily), Spain (Barcelona) and France (Marseille), all visiting Valletta (Malta).

"Elixir - Mixology Bar" serves handcrafted and trendy cocktails prepared by expert mixologists and features an outdoor terrace with seating. The Gin Project is a gin bar serving 70+ craft gins, as well as classic and botanical cocktails prepared by certified bartenders. Europa 2 is distinguished by the high quality of personnel who interact with the public. Save for room stewards, the majority are young and hail from Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Hapag-Lloyd says they are paid above-average salaries for the cruise industry.
New culinary additions include the Chef's Garden Kitchen, which is based around refined cuisine garnished with microgreens grown right onboard MSC World Europa. Besides offering a modern and intimate venue, it also provided one of the best meals we've had aboard any ship. • Our ships offer the possibility of combining 2 or 3 connecting cabins based on the ship class.

The event made World Europa MSC's first cruise ship not to be named by Sophia Loren. The ceremony was attended by Pierfrancesco Vago, Captain Marco Massa (ship's Master), Diego Aponte MSC Cargo's President), Akbar Al Baker (Qatar Tourism's Chairman and Qatar Airways Group's CEO), Hassan Al Thawadi (Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy's secretary general). The ship naming ceremony featured a drone show, a fireworks show, gala dinner, live musical performances (by Qatar Youth Choir and Matteo Bocelli). Introduced on the 2022-built MSC Seascape, MSC WORLD ships have the ROBOTRON. The developed by RWS Entertainment Group robotic arm is rotating a 3-seat gondola for 360-degree views.
This is also where you’ll find the Formula 1 simulator, as well as an entire room dedicated to LEGO. The vessel's construction officially started with the steel-cutting ceremony held on October 31, 2019, at Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard/STX France in St Nazaire. During the ceremony was also officially announced the newbuild's name ("MSC Europa") by Pierfrancesco Vago (MSC Cruises' Executive Chairman). "La Pescaderia" is a market-style seafood grill (fresh fish display, takeaway options) with alfresco seating. One of the best spots to hangout on the ship later in the day is the Ocean Promenade deck overlooking the stern. It’s a particularly atmospheric spot to gather for sunset and takes on an urban park feel, with people doing the very-Euro evening flaneur thing with ice creams in hand and sitting or benches to watch the wake.
Think upscale resort casual for daytime -- and we mean outfits that cost thousands of dollars, from names such as Bogner and Escada. (Ralph Lauren sportswear is considered low-end here, and the ship's boutique stopped carrying it.) There are no formal nights or captain's dinners. Evenings bring out expensive slacks and knee-length dresses for women, and sports jackets for men.
When was first announced by MSC (in April 2016), this ship design was planned with GT 205,000 tons, 2760 passenger staterooms, max passenger capacity 6850 (world's biggest by capacity). By GT tonnage/volume, MSC's World Class represents one of the world's largest passenger ships. By annual passenger shipping volumes, MSC is ranked the world's 3rd largest cruise shipowner - following only Carnival Corporation and RCG-Royal Caribbean Group. Europa is a very dressy ship, with country-club resortwear favored during the day and three dress codes for nighttime guidance. There's casual-elegant (men are required to wear jackets) and elegant (ties required). On formal nights, tuxedos or dark suits are obligatory for every restaurant aside from the buffet venue.
Appreciated touches in all cabins include USB charging ports under the lighting switches neat the beds, mini fridges and flat screen TVs, and showers with glass doors instead of curtains. Built in Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in St. Nazaire, France, the 22-deck behemoth has the perhaps surprising distinction of being MSC Cruises’ first vessel powered by liquified natural gas, hugely reducing emissions and making it the most environmentally advanced ship in MSC’s fleet. With its emphasis on anticipatory service, elegant surroundings, intriguing itineraries around the globe and commitment to offering English-speaking travelers close to the same experience as its core German passengers, Europa 2 is a strong player in the high-end cruising lineup. Other attractions on the World Europa include a panoramic gym, and a spa and thermal suite. There are nine different categories of stateroom ranging from interior cabins to grand suites. The vessel was docked in Doha and used to host spectators during the FIFA World Cup in Qatar before entering service in the MSC cruise ship fleet in early 2023.
