The area will comprise seven rooms, each catered to different age groups between 0 – 17 years. Two rooms will be devoted to sustainability to help educate children on the importance of the environment, and one to technological innovation in our digital age.

‘Designed with the latest technology and taking into account current trends, we want to meet the needs of new generations of children and their families for years to come,’ said Matteo Mancini, youth entertainment senior manager, MSC Cruises. ‘The onboard entertainment will reflect MSC Euribia's message of sustainability, with new innovations and environmental components integrated into the cruise experience.’
