MSC World Europa is an LNG-powered World-class cruise ship built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique in Saint-Nazaire, France, and represents MSC Cruises' first vessel of its new World class. Before beginning public cruise operations, the ship served as a hotel ship in Doha during the 2022 FIFA World Cup. As of June 2024, MSC World Europa ranks as the world's eighth largest passenger ship and the largest cruise ship not owned by Royal Caribbean International, with three sister ships planned to join the fleet.
