MSC Cruises has revealed details about The Harbour, an outdoor play area on the top deck in the Family Aventura district on the MSC World America, a ship arriving in April 2025.
The Harbour will feature the AquaPark with a splash area and waterslides, including a 90-degree vertical drop slide and a raft slide augmented with virtual reality technology.

A dry slide, Jaw Drop @ The Spiral, invites riders to step into the jaws of a shark to spiral down 11 decks through the heart of the World Promenade. The stainless-steel dry slide alternates through dark and light segments, offering glimpses of sea views out the back of the ship.
Announced earlier this year, the Cliffhanger will be an over-water swing ride at sea.
The Harbour Light House will be a thematic playground for kids that is modeled after the lighthouse at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve. The Harbour will also have a rock-climbing wall, a two-level ropes course that will include two Sky Rails (similar to a zipline) and the Harbour Bar & Bites grab-and-go snack stand.

The Family Dwelling area will have comfortable seating and shade. Musicians will perform for adults while children enjoy the attractions.
The Harbour, together with the Doremiland kids area and Sportsplex, will form the MSC World America's Family Aventura district.
