MSC Cruises is sharing new photos of The Spiral @ Tree of Life, the massive dry slide slated to debut aboard new ship MSC World Asia.

The Spiral @ Tree of Life, which MSC Cruises says is the longest dry slide at sea, is located in The Harbour, a family-friendly outdoor park. It measures 266 feet and spans 12 decks on the vessel.

The slide rises 32 feet above the deck, weighs close to eight tons and is equipped with more than 492 feet of integrated LED lighting. It’s inspired by the identity of contemporary Asian cities and the iconic Supertrees of Singapore’s Marina Bay.

It’s scheduled to launch in December and will offer seven-night itineraries to some of the Mediterranean’s most popular destinations, including Barcelona, Marseille, Messina, Civitavecchia for Rome, Naples and Valletta.
