At the heart of MSC World America’s Family Adventure district, The Harbour will be the first of its kind in the MSC Cruises fleet
MSC Cruises today revealed the exciting attractions and experiences awaiting guests at The Harbour, a revolutionary new outdoor space on MSC World America, designed especially for children and families to gather, play and relax together.
MSC World America will launch in April 2025 and invite guests to discover a new world of cruising with a variety of new and reimagined venues and concepts, designed specifically for the American market.
As a family-friendly company, MSC Cruises is known for its award-winning family offerings, delivering an unforgettable cruise experience for children of all ages and their families. MSC World America will take those offerings to new heights with unprecedented spaces and activities for the whole family to enjoy.
The jewel of the ship’s Family Adventure district, The Harbour is a new outdoor park designed to connect guests to the ocean and offer families an outdoor oasis to gather and enjoy a wide variety of activities, soak up the sun, enjoy delicious bites or simply relax – all in one place.
The Harbour is not only a daytime venue, but also a prime hangout spot at night. In the evening, live musicians will keep the atmosphere going with live performances for parents, while kids and teens can continue to enjoy the attractions that remain open.
The first of its kind for MSC Cruises, the new space is located at the heart of the ship’s open-air upper deck and will offer some of the most stunning ocean views, combining a wide variety of dry and aquatic adventures with unforgettable experiences waiting to be discovered, including:
The Harbour Aquapark – Promising to be a perfect mix of adventure and leisure for all ages, The Harbour Aquapark boasts an impressive range of thrilling water slides, plus a fun splash area. Only the bravest can take on the 90-degree vertical drop slide – step into the exit pod and take a moment to catch your breath, then in a second you’ll be free-falling through a trap door to the lower decks before twists and turns take you down to the splash zone. Thrill seekers can also choose from a VR-powered raft slide to make every ride even more thrilling or race against a friend on the dueling slide.
Jaw Drop @ The Spiral – A stunning architectural masterpiece and one of the longest dry slides at sea – Jaw Drop takes guests through the jaws of a shark and spirals down 11 decks through the heart of the World Promenade. The stainless steel dry slide dramatically spirals through dark and light segments offering glimpses of stunning sea views at the rear of the ship in a unique, adrenaline-filled experience.
Climbing Wall – An adventure for kids, little ones can enjoy climbing the vibrant rock wall as they try to navigate different holds and supports to see how far they can go.
High Trail Abseiling – Offering the ultimate challenge, the thrilling two-level ropes course will span 577m² and be enriched with two zipline-like Sky Rails. Guests will have the chance to get their adrenaline pumping and test their balance while enjoying sea views from new heights.
The Harbour Light House: A children’s theme park, modeled after the iconic lighthouse at the MSC Ocean Cay Marine Reserve in the Bahamas. Lost in its own world, this lively safe haven is filled with a slide and play stations designed to spark imagination and physical activity.
The Harbour Bar & Bites – Those looking for a break from all the excitement can opt for The Harbour Bar & Bites, which offers a delicious selection of quick and easy bites as well as refreshing drinks, ready to order, pick up and go. Guests can choose from a variety of savoury and sweet dishes, offering something for the whole family to enjoy.
Family Lounge Area: Guests can head to the family lounge area with comfortable seating and shade to sit and relax while enjoying the stunning sea views.
Cliffhanger: Announced earlier this year, the only overwater Cliffhanger attraction at sea, features four-seat swing towers 50m above the ocean, propelled back and forth for a unique edge-of-your-seat thrill. For more information on Cliffhanger, click HERE (link to press room).
The Harbour, together with the Doremiland children’s area and Sportsplex form the ship’s Family Adventure district, which will become the preferred destination for children and families throughout the day.
