MSC Seaview

MSC Seaview is a cruise ship operated by MSC Cruises and the second of the two original Seaside-class ships. Delivered by Fincantieri at Monfalcone, Italy, in June 2018, she measures about 153,500 gross tons and 324 metres, with 2,066 staterooms across 20 decks.

The Seaside class was conceived around outdoor living, taking design cues from waterfront apartment buildings rather than from conventional cruise ship layouts. A wide waterfront promenade runs low along the hull with restaurants and bars opening directly onto it, glass-floored catwalks project over the sea, and exterior panoramic lifts carry guests up the side of the superstructure. The aft decks descend in terraces toward a pool that looks out over the wake.

Onboard facilities include a main theatre, a broad range of specialty restaurants, a casino, a full spa, a zip line and ropes course on the upper decks, an aqua park, and the MSC Yacht Club with its own restaurant, lounge and private deck.

Seaview was named in Genoa in June 2018, in the city that serves as the historic home port of MSC's Italian operations.

She has alternated between Mediterranean summer seasons and winter deployments in South America, sailing from Santos and other Brazilian ports, a market in which MSC has long held a leading position.
