New Features for Kids on MSC World Europa

We’re just six months away from the inaugural cruise on board MSC Cruises’ MSC World Europa and today the cruise line announced their entertainment plans for the youngest guests on board. Not only will the ship feature the largest kids’ area ever for the cruise line at 8,245 square feet across seven distinct spaces sorted by age, but also more than 100 hours of live entertainment specifically for kids on every cruise.

According to MSC Cruises’ Kids’ Entertainment Manager Matteo Mancini, providing a place for young guests to fully enjoy their cruise vacation was a major focus for the cruise line. 

“We have invested heavily in the entertainment offerings for our younger guests, and we know they value the latest technology, trends and experiences. We have worked to introduce real innovations in both the design of the facilities as well as the development of an incredible program of activities, all carefully planned to ensure that the differing needs of all age groups are met – from our youngest guests to teenagers. More than 350,000 young people have travelled with us over the years, and we have listened to their feedback. MSC World Europa reflects these learnings and we have been inspired to create experiences that blend technology and social media with activity and sport to create fresh and new entertainment for the kids who sail with us.” 

• For infants and toddlers: Baby Club (0 – 2 years), cared for by specially trained crew members
• For younger kids: Mini Club and Juniors Club (3 – 11 years)
• For older kids: Young Club and Teen Club (12 – 17 years), including the new TEENS LAB, an immersive, tech-filled, space just for teens
