MSC Seashore is a Seaside EVO-class cruise ship built for MSC Cruises at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy. As of August 2021, she became the lead ship of MSC’s Seaside EVO class, a sub-class of the Seaside class of ships built with larger dimensions. She will be joined by a sister ship named MSC Seascape scheduled for delivery in November 2022.
MSC Seashore is an evolution of her Seaside-class sister ships, MSC Seaside and MSC Seaview. The ship features 65 percent of her public spaces completely reimagined to enrich the onboard experience and has been extended and enhanced with new entertainment venues, bars and restaurants, and outdoor areas as well as more staterooms and public space.
MSC Seashore’s stunning exterior has been designed specifically for warmer climates, with more outdoor space to bring guests closer to the sea than ever before. Her signature aft style mirrors the iconic beach condo design that the Seaside class is known for.
The first of two enriched Seaside EVO-class ships, MSC Seashore is equipped with the latest advanced environmental technology to increase energy efficiency. In addition, the innovative MSC for Me technology provides an enhanced onboard experience by using digital technology to connect guests, crew, and venues via interactive touchscreens around the ship, interactive stateroom TVs, and the MSC for Me app.
MSC Seashore now sailing from Miami to The Bahamas & Caribbean, including full-day calls to Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, our award-winning exclusive private island.
Each of the MSC Seashore cruise ship deck plans is conveniently combined with a legend (showing cabin codes) and a detailed review of all the deck’s venues and passenger-accessible indoor and outdoor areas. A separate link provides a piece of extensive information on MSC Seashore staterooms (cabins and suites), including photos, cabin plans, and amenities by room type and category.
