1 1 MSC World Europa will feature various innovations, including an 11-deck-high slide in the World Promenade and multiple pools “Our chefs will prepare globally inspired dishes, taking guests on an authentic gastronomic journey,” says Vago. “Guests will also be able to enjoy highquality entertainment, ranging from largescale theatre productions to immersive performances in the aft lounge, interactive family entertainment in the Luna Park Arena, roller discos and Bohemian Street theatre all around the ship. Plus, the ship will have a glass-walled bumper car ‘bubble’ positioned 70 metres above the sea, which is another industry first.” Vago believes the “beating heart” of MSC World Europa will be a threedeck-high indoor World Galleria with shops, restaurants and an LED sky screen, which opens onto the outdoor World Promenade at the aft of the ship. The 104-metre-long World Promenade spans nine decks and features dining venues, the longest dry slide at sea (11 decks high), and much more. “World Promenade will be one of the most impressive spaces in this incredible ship due to its breathtaking sea views and its entertainment and al-fresco dining spaces,” he explains. MSC World Europa will also be one of the most environmentally advanced ships at sea, becoming the first in the MSC Cruises fleet to be powered by LNG fuel. “MSC World Europa is a statement of our commitment to building a brighter future for our planet and marks a significant milestone on our journey to zero emissions,” says Vago. “Using LNG fuel will cut emissions of sulphur oxides by 99 per cent, particles by 98 per cent, nitrogen oxides by 85 per cent and carbon dioxide by up to 25 per cent compared to standard marine fuels. LNG is paving the way for the uptake of sustainable non-fossil fuels including green hydrogen too. The ship will also have a demonstration fuel cell to test how efficiently it produces heat and electricity compared to the LNG engines.” KEYNOTE
