MSC Cruises today announced the opening of sales for MSC Seashore in the Western Mediterranean. Starting in June 2021, it will sail a seven-night itinerary between the popular ports of Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Naples, Messina, and Valletta.
Sales open today exclusively for MSC Voyagers Club members for two weeks, one of the many benefits offered to loyal MSC Cruises guests. All other customers can book from July 11, 2019.MSC Seashore will be the third ship in the innovative Seaside class, following MSC Seaside and MSC Seaview, launched in 2017 and 2018 respectively, and the first of two upgraded Seaside Evo ships with expanded public spaces and more cabins, boasting the highest ratio of outdoor space per passenger of any ship in the company's fleet.
Gianni Onorato, CEO of MSC Cruises, stated: “Every ship we build is different. MSC Seashore is an evolution of the innovative Seaside prototype, but this ship has allowed us to further enhance the passenger experience with the addition of new features and facilities, as well as some additional improvements to existing ones. With greater capacity and more spacious facilities, MSC Seashore will offer passengers countless opportunities to get closer to the sea, providing even more options for guests to enjoy the beauty of the Mediterranean when the ship enters service.”
The ship's 16-meter increase in size has allowed for a redesign of some public spaces, including the addition of new common areas and the optimization of other shipboard spaces. A new two-story showroom beneath the aft pool, now located on Deck 8, while on Deck 18, the indoor pool will be expanded with an additional floor above and around it. The family offerings have also been enhanced with an even larger children's area and a state-of-the-art water park.
A new restaurant will be introduced for Aurea Experience passengers, along with an main restaurant . Specialty restaurants will be relocated to Deck 8, while the buffet will move to Deck 16. The relocation of the specialty restaurants allows for oceanfront seating on the iconic promenade, bringing passengers ever closer to the sea while they enjoy lunch or dinner.
MSC Seashore will also feature new cabin designs, including group cabins for families and friends. Meanwhile, the ship's most exclusive area, MSC Yacht Club, will offer a new suite style with a dressing room. In addition, there will be two more luxurious suites with whirlpool tubs and 28 cabins with verandas and their own private sunbathing areas.
MSC Seashore will be equipped with the latest and best technology available to reduce its environmental impact, including: an exhaust gas cleaning system for cleaner emissions; an advanced wastewater treatment system; intelligent heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to recover heat from machinery spaces; and LED lighting and smart devices to significantly save energy. It will also be equipped with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, which will reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) to harmless nitrogen (N2) and water. All of this is part of MSC Cruises' commitment to offering its passengers the best vacations at sea in a sustainable way.
MSC Seashore, as well as the other ship in the Seaside generation, is being built by the Italian shipyard Fincantieri, one of the world's largest shipbuilding groups. These new ships combine Fincantieri's long history in shipbuilding, expertise, and Italian design style with MSC Cruises' industry-leading innovation and global vision.
