MSC Cruises is expanding its kids and family program this summer with new entertainment and offerings.

New activities and Services

Extended Services For Babies

For the first time, MSC Cruises will offer a dedicated baby care service for babies as young as six months old. Previously, the service could only accommodate those 1 and older. The extended service gives parents the freedom to enjoy the ship, safe in the knowledge that their kids are being cared for by dedicated and highly trained staff.

These services are offered in collaboration with Chicco, a longtime MSC partner, and means that all youth staff on the ships are prepared to meet all the needs of babies between 6 months and 2 years old.

Doremiland Open House and Party

Parents who want to spend quality time with their kids in the kids club now have the opportunity to do so. Each day, a time slot will be reserved where all Doremiland areas will be open. There will also be a big family party for parents and kids to play together once per voyage.

New MSC Original Family Game Shows

Among the most popular activities for families are MSC original or branded game shows in which kids are main stars, but can challenge their parents as well. After the success of MasterChef at Sea Juniors, Break the Wall, and MSC Dance Crew, two new family game shows are now available: “World Quest” — a geography-based trivia game and “Caravaggio,” a spy game show dedicated to art.

Extended Teen Club Hours

There’s now extended hours in the club for guests ages 12 to 17, ensuring they can enjoy the club every sea day from 10 am to 1 pm and again from 3 pm to midnight. On port days, the club will be open from 3 pm to midnight.

Guinness World Record Activities

After the successful trials of Guinness World Record activities on select ships, the program will now be extended to more vessels. Can you pick out the tallest, the lowest, the biggest or the strongest or are you just good at guessing? Families will have the chance to win prizes in the ultimate family record-breaking quiz show.

This show is now available on the following ships: MSC World Europa, MSC Euribia, MSC Seascape, MSC Seashore, MSC Magnifica, MSC Divina, MSC Meraviglia, MSC Virtuosa and MSC Grandiosa.

MSC Foundation Day

Families will now have the opportunity every day to take part in exclusive kids’ activities carried out in collaboration with the MSC Foundation and its partners to learn more about marine conservation initiatives. This includes one hour of activities each day dedicated to important environmental optics in which kids will be able to learn, create, and express themselves according to their interests.
