MSC Cruises is to offer a new three-in-one Pan-Asian dining concept when it debuts in December 2026.
The Pan-Asian restaurant will have relaxed a dining area, a bar and lounge serving Southeast Asian-inspired cocktails and a window where guests can access complimentary on-the-go food and drinks. There will be music playing and an open-plan kitchen so guests can see the chefs cooking their meals. The venue is being decorated with bold artwork, including a large dragon installation on the outside.

“With this new three-in-one venue, we are inviting guests to explore one of the world’s most exciting food cultures in a way that is vibrant, welcoming and full of flavour,” said Stéphane Franchini, senior director food and beverage product at MSC Cruises. “From the diverse range of dishes to the atmosphere of the space and the expertise of Chefs Xiao Wang and Luca Césarini, every detail has been carefully designed to create a truly immersive culinary journey. It reflects our ambition to offer greater choice, seamless convenience and more memorable moments through food.”
