MSC Seashore

MSC Seashore is a cruise ship operated by MSC Cruises and the first of the Seaside EVO design, a lengthened and updated evolution of the Seaside class. Delivered by Fincantieri at Monfalcone, Italy, in July 2021, she measures about 170,400 gross tons and 339 metres, which made her the longest ship ever built in Italy at the time of her delivery, with roughly 2,270 staterooms across 20 decks.

The EVO hull keeps the Seaside family's orientation toward the water while adding scale. A waterfront boardwalk wraps the ship close to the sea, glass catwalks and exterior panoramic lifts expose the drop to the ocean, and the aft terraces descend toward a beach-style pool deck. Compared with the original Seaside pair, the EVO design added a deck of cabins, redesigned the forward superstructure, enlarged the MSC Yacht Club and expanded the water park.

Public rooms include a two-level theatre, numerous restaurants and lounges, several of them opening onto the outdoor promenade, a large casino, a full-service spa and extensive family facilities. Built through the pandemic period, the ship also debuted upgraded air-handling and sanitation systems that MSC subsequently rolled out more widely.

Seashore was formally named in November 2021 at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the first christening ever staged at the line's private Bahamian island rather than in a conventional port.

She has spent her career in the North American market, sailing Caribbean and Bahamas itineraries from Miami and Port Canaveral, and is a near-twin of MSC Seascape, which followed her out of the same yard a year later.
