MSC Seaside is the first Seaside-class ship - a prototype inspired by an elegant beach condo, engineered to bring guests closer to the sea than any MSC ship before it. Signature features include a unique waterfront boardwalk that wraps the ship at ocean level, panoramic glass elevators, a 98-foot glass bridge on the top deck, and 76% of cabins on the outside for ocean views. The five-deck MSC Yacht Club crowns the ship with a 5,250-sq-ft private sun deck.
Who it's for
Families and sun-and-sea lovers who want an outdoor-first, ocean-connected ship, with modular family cabins sleeping up to ten; premium guests get a five-deck MSC Yacht Club with two duplex apartment suites. Deployed to the U.S. from Miami for short Bahamas cruises.
