New Cruise Ship Will Have an 11-Story Slide, the Longest at Sea

MSC Cruises will debut MSC World Asia on December 4, 2026, introducing an array of entertainment features designed to attract family travelers and thrill-seekers. The ship will showcase the Spiral at Tree of Life, a 266-foot dry slide descending 11 decks—the longest on any cruise ship. Additional attractions include Cliffhanger, an over-water swing ride towering 164 feet above the ocean, Twin Racer waterslides, and an Adventure Trail ropes course suspended above the sea. The vessel will also feature an MSC Formula Racer simulator reflecting the cruise line's partnership with Formula 1, alongside an innovative Luna Park Arena utilizing immersive digital technology for interactive gaming competitions and game shows. MSC World Asia serves as the third World class ship for the cruise line, with an Asia-inspired design aesthetic connecting its entertainment offerings to regional cultural elements.
