MSC Cruises has released details of its completely redesigned kids' club area, as well as a new line-up of children's entertainment on board MSC Seashore, the company's new flagship, which will enter service on August 1, 2021. 65% of the public spaces on the new flagship have been completely redesigned to further enrich the onboard experience, with a host of exciting new activities dedicated to children of all ages. Parents can rest assured when leaving their children in the care of the experienced staff at MSC Cruises' kids' club.
As a family-owned company, a key element of the MSC Cruises experience is always providing fun and enriching holidays for families. “We are constantly developing new, exciting, and engaging activities to give our families the best entertainment. For MSC Seashore, we have taken family fun to a whole new level to please and delight children of all ages,” said Matteo Mancini, MSC Cruises' Children's Entertainment Manager.
“Our goal is to ensure our younger passengers have the time of their lives during their vacation, not only with a dedicated and completely redesigned space—the largest in our fleet—but also with a host of new activities for even more exciting adventures. Our secret is listening to the next generation and designing the program according to their interests and requirements. This way, we’ll always be one step ahead and ensure we’re the ideal choice for them, not just in the cruise industry but across all international vacation options.”.
