MSC Cruises announced it is “elevating its food and beverage program” and will be offering a new experience that features some of the world’s most acclaimed bars. The new program, World’s Greatest Bars, began on April 1, 2024, and will be featured on select MSC Cruises ships for six months at a time beginning with MSC World Europa and MSC Euribia.
Guests will be able to enjoy pop-ups from award-winning bars Paradiso and Sips from Barcelona, Spain. The MSC onboard bar teams have been personally trained by maestros from the partnering bars who have shared the secrets and techniques that have made them famous.
Jacques Van Staden, Food & Beverage Vice President at MSC Cruises, said, “We’re delighted to bring the ‘World’s Greatest Bars’ concept on board our ships to create world-class and innovative experiences for our guests. The new program brings our food and beverage offerings to new heights, providing unforgettable experiences not seen before at sea. We’re thrilled to have on board such exciting bars, SIPS and Paradiso, two ranked as some of the best in the world. These two bars are incredibly hard to get into right now, so we’re so excited that our guests can get a taste of the action.”
MSC Cruises is continually looking to improve its Food and Beverage offerings with innovative concepts. Currently, Helios Wine Bar, an immersive digital experience for the next generation of wine lovers, is onboard MSC Euribia, while The Gin Project, a must-stop shop for gin aficionados with over 70 craft gins, is onboard MSC Europa. Additionally, MSC World Europa is home to the Masters of the Sea microbrewery where special-brew beer is made from desalinated seawater.
MSC World Europa features the Paradiso pop-up and is currently offering 7-night Western Mediterranean cruises, while MSC Euribia features drinks from Sips and is offering a series of cruises throughout Northern Europe.
