Three theatre shows will make their debut on MSC Cruises’ newest ship later this year.
The cruise line has revealed that there will be six different shows for cruise guests aboard MSC World Asia when it launches in December.
Guests will be able to choose from shows across different entertainment venues on the ship including the World Theatre, Luna Park and the Panorama Lounge.
Additionally, MSC World Asia will have 33 musicians performing daily across the ship, from strolling musicians and solo artists to live bands and MSC Cruises’ duelling pianos experience.
Here is what guests can expect from the entertainment lineup aboard MSC World Asia.
La NoTte
Produced in partnership with creative agency Only Child, the World Theatre show invites guests into La NoTte, described as a residence frozen in time.
It features characters playing lovers and misfits drifting through memories to a musical soundtrack.
Sensoria
The Sensoria show aboard MSC World Asia aims to appeal to guests’ senses.
It promises to bring sight, sound, touch, taste and smell alive with music, movement and cirque artistry inside the World Theatre.
Ritmo Divino
The Ritmo Divino show fuses flamenco with an edgy and modern interpretation of traditional Spanish folklore.
Performed in the World Theatre, it tells the story of a young flamenco dancer and a fearless matador in a love affair destined for tragedy.

Hall of Fame
Guest favourite Hall of Fame will also be performed on board in the World Theatre.
The show recreates pop moments and honours artists who have left their mark on the music industry, such as Elton John, Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce.
Sunset Symphonic
Based in the Panorama Lounge, this new fully orchestrated live music show will reimagine pop and dance anthems with live singers and musicians alongside high energy choreography and aerial performances.
Queen Symphonic
MSC Cruises’ Queen tribute is popular on its other ships including MSC World America, and is coming to MSC World Asia in the Panorama Lounge.
This symphonic spectacular celebrates the greatest hits from Queen, brought to life by an exclusively filmed 36-piece symphonic orchestra alongside a live rock band, powerhouse vocalists, dancers and acrobats.
Steve Leatham, vice president of entertainment for MSC Cruises, said: “MSC World Asia invites guests to experience the art of cruising through an exceptional mix of new and returning world-class entertainment.
“From spectacular productions in the World Theatre to innovative shows in the Panorama Lounge, guests will discover unforgettable experiences for every age and taste.
“Beyond our spectacular stage shows, MSC World Asia will feature an extensive live music programme, alongside enriching activities, games and interactive experiences, creating unforgettable moments from day to night.”
