About MSC Seashore
MSC Seashore is the first ship of the new developed Seaside EVO class. Due to similar onboard facilities like on MSC Seaview und MSC Seaside guests recognize easily that this new ship class is based on the Seaside class. Inspired by the New York spirit you can find several characteristics: for example a 4m high copy of the Statue of Liberty or a shopping area called Times Square. In this area you can also find a 8.5m high LED-wall which shows the skyline of Manhattan. The cruise line revised the restaurant concept and added a new two-storey show lounge. In addition, the water park is bigger and with some interactive features. Children will be happy about the enlarged Kids Club. With a big variety of onboard facilites and spacious outside areas the 339-metre long ship fits well to fine weather destinations. In addition, the MSC Seashore is equipped with state-of-the-art environmental technologies - including the innovative SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction System) catalytic converter with an active emission control system, as well as the modern wastewater treatment system and an onshore power connection.

The entertainment and the various on-board facilities have been creatively further developed compared to the Seaside class.

At the stern of the ship there is a breathtaking infinity pool with an unobstructed view of the ocean. Would you like to relax? The ultra-modern Aurea Spa is around 2,300 square meters and offers rooms for massages, a sauna, steam bath, whirlpool and a hairdressing/nail salon and barbershop.

Its generous glass walls allow a fantastic view of the sea. Approx. 400 guests can be seated here for a cocktail hour or a dance party.
