MSC Seashore

MSC Cruises is a private Italian cruise line and dominates the European and South American cruise market. The Italian flair and an elegant design characterize the ships. The cruise line offers a good value for money and the voyages are recommended to passengers of all ages. The average age of the passengers varies related to the destination and time of travel. During the summer many families spend their holiday on a Mediterranean cruise. In the off season there are less children aboard. The guests onboard are international and speaking English is an advantage. The cruise line is also committed to environmental protection and has set itself the goal of emission-free ship operation. Therefore, the ships are equipped with the latest technology, such as LNG propulsion. In addition, all newbuilds since 2017 have been equipped with a shore power connection, and further MSC Cruises ships will also be upgraded with this technology in the future.

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 cruise line revised the stateroom categories and added two new ones. In total there are 17 stateroom categories including interior, oceanview and balcony staterooms as well as different types of suites. The design is very modern and elegant. All staterooms are equipped with an air condition, an interactive tv, a telephone, a mini bar and a safe. The size of the staterooms varies between approx. 14-62 sqm. For families and groups up to ten people the cruise line can connect up to three staterooms. Guests can also book a stateroom in the exclusive MSC Yacht Club with 131 suites onboard. This is a separated area which can only be used by these guests and offers a variety of amenities, e. g. butler-service or a private restaurant. The MSC Yacht Club offers the largest and luxuriest Yacht Club of the MSC fleet with approximately 3.000 sqm. This are is spread out on four decks. Approximately 2.000 sqm of this area is a private pool area and sun deck.

The Italian lifestyle welcomes you onboard the fleet of MSC Cruises. At the daytime the atmosphere is casual and relaxed. For a few evenings per week an elegant and formal dress code is recommended. If one is not interested in these formal evenings in the main restaurants, the buffet restaurant is a good alternative.

Guests can select their favourite out of ten different restaurants. There are four main restaurants, one Aurea restaurant, one MSC Yacht Club restaurant and five opportunities for specialty dining. For the specialty restaurants, which are located on the promenade, we recommend to make a reservation. You can choose between the mexican restaurant 'HOLA! Tacos & Cantina', the Steakhouse 'Butchers Cut', the running Sushi restaurant 'Kaito Sushi Bar', the Teppanyaki highlight 'Kaito Teppanyaki' and the fish restaurant 'Ocean Cay'. For a special occasion like an anniversary it is worth paying the surcharge for the special dishes. 20 bars and lounges complete the huge offer of food and beverages, for example Chef's court on deck 8. Wine bar, sports bar, cocktail bar, piano lounge or champagne bar - everyone will find their favourite place. And for the sweet tooth there is also an ice cream corner or the chocolate & coffee bar. In general the cuisine is good and meets the standard of a middle class hotel.

The entertainment and the various on-board facilities have been creatively further developed compared to the Seaside class. Above all, the newly designed water park with interactive areas and six swimming pools offers a lot of variety. 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. In the evening, exciting shows that change daily are shown in the high-tech theater "Madison Theater". There is space for around 1,200 guests and can enjoy the three performances in the evening. You can also look forward to an improved 5D cinema, the rafting simulator, a virtual maze and the Formula 1 virtual reality racing car. The on-board casino is around 1,135 square meters and offers around 182 slot machines, 12 tables and the latest gaming technology on deck 7. Another new feature is the "Le Cabaret Rouge" show lounge at the stern of the ship, which extends over two decks. This lounge was inspired by the cabaret lounges of the 1920s. 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. 

Childcare is also provided for your children: babies and toddlers between the ages of one and three play in the Baby Club, which was created in collaboration with the leading children's brand Chicco®. The MSC Mini Club looks after the youngest children aged three to six and the Junior Club takes care of children aged seven to eleven. MSC's experienced entertainers look after the children with various games and lots of sporting activities. During the day, 12 to 14-year-olds in the Young Club and 15 to 17-year-olds in the Teens Club can enjoy clubs equipped with the latest consoles, games and VR technology, a teen disco and a dinner organized exclusively for teenagers.
