Designed to enhance the enjoyment of the open water and sunshine, specifically in warmer climates
Described as a game-changing cruise ship, the vision for MSC Seaview was to create something truly unique that would enable guests to enjoy the beauty of the Mediterranean sea.
MSC Seaview, second of the Seaside-class of ships and sister to MSC Seaside and MSC Seashore, is designed to enhance the enjoyment of the open water and sunshine, specifically intended to cruise in warmer climates and to create a very special connection between guests and the ocean.
Most cruise ships are planned and engineered to offer entertainment, dining and other experiences inside the ship while MSC Seaview is designed to bring guests to the open decks and walkways.
Featuring the highest ratio of outdoor spaces of any MSC Cruises ship, every element enables guests to enjoy the outdoors in every aspect of their life on board, from cabins and suites with outdoor spaces such as terraces and balconies, eating and drinking in true Mediterranean style “al fresco” through to outdoor fitness and luxury spa cabanas in the open air.
The Waterfront Boardwalk is perfect for a relaxing stroll, at one point becoming a glass skywalk with jaw-dropping views of the sea. The boardwalk provides access to a wide variety of restaurants, bars and other places to relax.
MSC Cruises Executive Chairman Pierfrancesco Vago said on her arrival in 2018: “MSC Seaview brings yet another new, distinctively innovative MSC Cruises product to the market as she boasts cutting edge design, and features the latest marine and environmental technology.
“She is an example of our commitment to bring the best and most innovative tonnage to the market, and our ambition to set each time a new standard in the industry.”
