About MSC Seaview
The MSC Seaview is a state-of-the-art, casual vessel and the second ship in the Seaside class. With a length of 323 meters, the ship can accommodate up to 5429 passengers, who can expect great fun and variety for the whole family. The look of the ship was inspired by the Miami Skyline. It offers guests the opportunity to spend a lot of time outdoors and has spacious outdoor areas and a large number of balcony cabins. In addition, a 360° promenade with a glass balustrade that surrounds the entire ship offers unparalleled views over the sea and the coastline. A fanastic view can also be seen in the glass elevators as well as in the atrium that ranges over four decks. The ship also has a shore power connection to reduce emissions.
