MSC Cruises Shares More on Bars and Lounges Coming to MSC World America

MSC Cruises has shared a look at the new bars and lounges coming to its new flagship vessel MSC World America. The highly-anticipated new shop will debut new sports bar and comedy club concepts, enhanced bar and lounge options, and a re-imagined sweet shop when it makes its debut in April 2025. 

MSC World America is the next iteration in the cruise line’s successful World Class series, which has ushered in a new world of cruising with re-imagined venues and concepts tailored for the U.S. market. It is the first ship to feature seven unique districts. 

“MSC World America offered us a great opportunity to look at the amazing slate of bars and lounges we developed for her sister ship—MSC World Europa—and update them to make sure we’re delivering everything our guests want in the American market,” said Neil Palomba, Executive Vice President of Operations for MSC Cruises USA. For some venues, we’re overhauling menus with upscale cocktails, more bourbons, gin from craft American distilleries and new American-Style beers to ensure everyone can find what they like. Plus, the fan-favorite Sweet Temptations will be even sweeter. Other venues are entirely new, like The Loft, which brings a comedy club to the fleet for the first time, and the All-Stars Sports Bar, which we believe is easily the best place to watch your favorite team at sea. We can’t wait for our guests to see everything we have in store for them.”

New for MSC World America is the All-Stars Sports Bar and The Loft. The All-Stars Sports Bar will be located in MSC World America’s Promenade district. Here, guests can grab a drink and watch games while enjoying food like wings and sliders. The venue will feature signature sports bar games including interactive darts, digital shuffleboard, and foosball. Also featured here will be a large terrace with great ocean views. The Loft is a new multi-purpose adults-only venue in The Terraces district, featuring comedy shows, dueling pianos, and karaoke nights. 

Elixir – Mixology Bar (introduced on MSC World Europa) is a space serving high-end cocktails crafted by talented mixologists. Elixir comes to the American market with a new focus on bourbon-based cocktails. More into gin? Visit The Gin Project, a haven for gin fanatics, serving 20 craft gins sourced with a focus on American and Canadian craft gin distilleries. The bar will feature a vintage Crawley’s shaker, where guests can test their hand at shaking their own botanical cocktails.

At the heart of the Terraces district of the ship will be Masters of the Seas, a British-style pub.  The pub will feature MSC Cruises’ second full-scale micro-brewery at sea, offering a range of signature beers from brewmaster Teo Musso of Baladin Brewery, including an American-style lite beer, IPA and Pilsner made from desalinated seawater. 

The Coffee Emporium coming to MSC World America will be a sleek and modern coffee house, serving  French, Italian, Turkish, and Moroccan styles of coffee. 

For those who prefer sweet treats, MSC World America will have several ways to fix your sweet tooth. Sweet Temptations (which also debuted on MSC World Europa) will have a fresh new look and more confectionary treats. Located in the Promenade district, Sweet Temptations will serve hand-crafted crazy-shakes, Venchi chocolates and gelato, self-serve frozen yogurt, make-your-own ice cream bars, hot crepes, and waffles, donuts, and a variety of candies. Jean Philippe Chocolat & Café returns on MSC World America. This chocolate-lovers paradise is a staple aboard many of MSC Cruises’ ships, with exquisite candies and a create-your-own chocolate bars. 

MSC World America is set to launch in April 2025. The ship will spend an inaugural season sailing from PortMiami to the Caribbean, with all visits including a stop at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.
