With just six months to go until MSC Seashore enters service in August in the Mediterranean, MSC Cruises has revealed new details of what will be one of the line’s most innovative next-generation ships to date.
Building on the game-changing and pioneering design of the Seaside class of ship, aimed at bringing guests closer to the sea, MSC Seashore, the first Seaside EVO ship, has been extended and enhanced with a variety of brand-new features, spaces and experience.
This class of ship, renowned for its glamorous design features, is designed to be lived and enjoyed outside and MSC Seashore takes this to a whole new level. It will offer the highest ratio of outdoor space per guest of any ship in MSC fleet.
Says Pierfrancesco Vago, Executive Chairman of MSC Cruises: “With each new ship we build, MSC Cruises continues to innovate and push design boundaries.
“MSC Seashore represents an evolution of the Seaside class as an extended and further enriched ship, with 65 per cent of the public areas reimagined to create something truly unique for our guests.
“The new aft design has allowed us to introduce a brand-new lounge, Cabaret Rouge, spanning two decks with panoramic views of the sea, offering new entertainment experiences.”

The specialty restaurant experience has been completely redesigned with the Chef’s Court on deck 8 making this a go-to destination for bars and restaurants. And each of the pools have been enhanced including an impressive double-deck extended magrodome pool and an infinity pool at the aft.
For the technology-minded, the 169,500-ton MSC Seashore will be the first cruise ship in the world to feature a new air sanitation system developed by Fincantieri. “Safe Air” uses UV-C lamp technology eliminating 99 per cent of viruses and bacteria to guarantee clean and safe air for guests and crew.
The ship will also be equipped with the latest-generation environmental technology with improvements to energy efficiency, the latest systems to reduce air emissions, as well as an advanced waste water treatment system with purification standards that are higher than most wastewater treatment facilities ashore.
After entering service in August and spending an inaugural season in the Mediterranean calling at the Italian ports of Genoa, Naples, Messina as well as Valetta in Malta, Barcelona in Spain and Marseille in France, MSC Seashore will head to the US in November where she will home port in Miami and sail 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean and Bahamas itineraries.
