MSC Cruises is rolling out new entertainment offerings across its fleet in 2026.

This year, guests can enjoy new parties, game shows, digital experiences, live music and more onboard the cruise line’s ships. 

A fully renewed ’70s Party is rolling out fleetwide, with refreshed music, upgraded costumes and elevated interactive experiences. Other offerings include “Dirty Dancing: In Concert,” 20 new big band performances, a newly refreshed Paz Flamenco show, Dueling Pianos, an American Country Band experience and an updated MasterChef at Sea offering for adults, kids and teens. 

Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy two new original shows: Chart Toppers, a high-energy music game, and Quiz O’Clock: The Battle, a competitive game-show experience. MSC Cruises’ Professional Coaches Programme, covering sports, wellness and arts and crafts, will expand to 15 ships in 2026, and the LEGO Parade will expand to 14 ships.

Families can also look forward to a refreshed, digital-first LEGO Family Game Show launching fleetwide. Ocean Day by the MSC Foundation, a new educational entertainment offering designed to inspire younger guests through interactive learning and play, will also be available for kids on every MSC cruise ship.

The brand is also experimenting with artificial intelligence-powered robotic dogs from Unitree Robotics, which will be accompanied by humanoid robots on select ships. Guests will enjoy meet-and-greets, robot-themed parades, interactive robotic workshops for children and dance appearances during the cruise line’s Doremix Family Disco.
