Paradiso and Sips pop-up bars appear on MSC shipsParadiso and Sips pop-up bars appear on MSC ships

It is part of MSC’s new ‘World’s Greatest Bars’ concept, which sees acclaimed bars brought to the line’s vessels. 

Maestros from each partnering bar personally trained the onboard bar teams, passing on the secrets of the flavour combinations and techniques to prepare the cocktails the venues are recognised for. 

The programme, which began on April 1, will be available for a six-month activation with the Paradiso pop-up on board MSC World Europa and Sips on board MSC Euribia. 

Jacques Van Staden, food & beverage VP, MSC Cruises explained, ‘...The new programme brings our food and beverage offering to new heights, providing unforgettable experiences not seen before at sea… 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.’

Other recent F&B concepts from MSC include Helios Wine Bar on MSC Euribia, an immersive digital experience for the next generation of wine lovers, The Gin Project on MSC World Europa which has over 70 craft gins, and Masters of the Sea microbrewery on MSC World Europa where special-brew beer is made from desalinated seawater.
