MSC World Europa En Route to Qatar
MSC Cruises’ largest ship ever, MSC World Europa, is now en route to Qatar to prepare for her naming ceremony this month. The vessel will spend her inaugural season in the Middle East before heading to the Mediterranean next summer.
In October, the line started construction on its second World-class ship MSC World America. It will be similar in many ways to World Europa, but have some differences that make it more tailored to the North American market.
Both ships will be the first in MSC’s fleet to be powered by liquefied natural gas, which is the cleanest burning fossil fuel available to cruise ships today.
