MSC Cruises Announced the Order of Two New Ships in the World Class, Further Expanding Its Fleet of Mega Vessels.

In a new strategic move, MSC Cruises revealed its intention to incorporate two more ships from the World Class into its fleet, with deliveries expected in 2029 and 2030, respectively. Temporarily identified as MSC World Class 5 and MSC World Class 6, the ships still depend on the formalization of financing for the contract to be officially finalized.

The vessels will be built at the traditional Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in France, where the previous models of the same class were also developed.

The expectation is that the new ships will follow the same design and technology standards as the MSC World Europa and MSC World Asia, with an estimated capacity of up to 6,800 passengers.

Expansion Strengthens Commitment to Technology and Sustainability

According to Pierfrancesco Vago, Executive Chairman of MSC Cruises, the new ships “will further expand the legacy of excellence and innovation established by the World Class, which combines the best in environmental technology with the latest advancements in guest experiences.”

This statement reinforces the company’s positioning to align high-end comfort and entertainment with sustainable practices, such as advanced water treatment systems, energy efficiency, and emissions reduction.

World Class Fleet Continues to Grow

The World Class, launched by MSC Cruises, represents a new chapter in cruise ship engineering. Currently, two vessels are already in operation:

MSC World Europa – The first of the class, was delivered in 2022 during the World Cup in Qatar. It operates in the Western Mediterranean.
MSC World America – Recently inaugurated in the United States, it offers cruises in the Caribbean.

Another two ships are under construction and set to debut:

MSC World Asia – With delivery expected by the end of 2026, it should also sail in the Mediterranean.
MSC World Atlantic – Expected to launch in 2027, will travel in the Caribbean region.

The arrival of MSC World Class 5 and MSC World Class 6 completes the company’s plan to maintain six ships of the World Class in operation by the end of the decade, consolidating its leadership among cruise lines with the greatest capacity and innovation in large-scale cruising.

A New Era for Luxury Cruises

With the new investments, MSC Cruises not only expands its fleet but reinforces its vision for the future of the industry. The World Class solidifies itself as a symbol of a new standard in maritime tourism, uniting comfort, environmental responsibility, and technological experiences for guests.

The expectation is that the World Class ships will continue to offer top-notch services and unprecedented attractions, becoming a reference in luxury on the world’s seas.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.
