MSC World Asia has revealed it will carry an expanded retail offering when it begins Mediterranean sailings this winter.
The ship’s shopping zones include an outdoor World Promenade of waterfront boutiques and an indoor World Galleria that combines retail with entertainment and design.
MSC Cruises said the onboard selection will feature fragrances, watches, fashion jewellery, cosmetics and electronics from global brands.
“With MSC World Asia inviting guests to experience The Art of Cruising, we are delighted to offer an exceptional onboard shopping experience that reflects the spirit of the journey,” said MSC Cruises Senior Vice President Onboard Revenue Georg Schmickler.

For the first time on an MSC ship, two family-focused venues, The Harbour and The Clubhouse, will host dedicated pop-up retail spaces offering MSC World Asia-themed collectables, branded merchandise and keepsakes.
Available items range from family games and T-shirts to tote bags, towels and exclusive souvenirs.
MSC World Asia, which is slated to launch on December 4, will operate seven-night itineraries calling Barcelona, Marseille, Messina, Civitavecchia for Rome, Naples and Valletta; she is the third ship in MSC’s World Class series and incorporates design elements inspired by Asia.
