Sarah Bretz, ContributorMSC Cruises has announced details on the attractions and experiences that will be in The Harbour, a brand-new outdoor space specifically designed for kids and families on MSC World America. The ship is set to launch in April 2025 with a range of new and reimagined venues and concepts tailored for the U.S. market.
The crowning glory in the vessel’s Family Aventura district, The Harbour is a brand-new outdoor park designed to connect guests to the ocean. There, families will be able to come together to enjoy activities, soak up the sun, enjoy delicious bites, and relax. In the evening, live musicians will offer performances for parents, while kids and teenagers can continue to enjoy the attractions that remain open.
The Harbour Aquapark
The Harbour Aquapark features an impressive range of water slides, plus a splash area. The 90-degree vertical drop slide is a thrilling experience, where guests will freefall through a trapdoor to the decks below before twists and turns bring them to the splash zone. There’s also a raft slide with virtual reality technology and a dueling slide to race friends.
Jaw Drop @ The Spiral
A striking architectural masterpiece, Jaw Drop takes riders through the jaws of a shark and spiraling down 11 decks through the heart of the World Promenade. The stainless-steel dry slide spirals through dark and light segments offering glimpses of sea views out the back of the ship.
Rock Climbing Wall
An adventure for kids, little ones can enjoy climbing the vibrant rock wall as they attempt to navigate different handholds and footholds to see how far they can get.
High Trail Ropes Course
Offering the ultimate challenge, the two-level ropes course will span over 6,000 square feet and be enriched with two Sky Rails similar to a zip line.
The Harbour Light House
A thematic playground for kids modeled after the iconic lighthouse at Ocean Cay, MSC’s private island, 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 to take a break from all the excitement can opt for The Harbour Bar & Bites, offering a selection of convenient quick and easy bites as well as drinks, all ready to order to pick up and go.
Family Dwelling Area
Guests can make their way to the family dwelling area, which features comfortable seating and shade to sit back and relax while taking in the ocean views.
Cliffhanger
Announced earlier this year, the unique Cliffhanger attraction is the only over-water swing ride at sea, featuring four-seat swing towers over 160 feet above the ocean, propelled back and forth for a one-of-a-kind thrill.
Together with the Doremiland kids area and Sportsplex, The Harbour forms the ship’s Family Aventura district — becoming the go-to destination for kids and families aboard MSC World America.
