Chantiers de l’Atlantique, one of the world’s biggest shipyards, started construction on MSC World Europa in 2019. The ship was fully constructed and delivered to MSC Cruises in October, and it’s scheduled for its maiden voyage around the Middle East in December.
MSC World Europa is slated to be used as a hotel for fans at the Qatar World Cup from November 19 to December 19.
