About MSC Seashore
MSC Seashore, delivered in 2021, was the first Seaside EVO ship, an enlarged and refined version of the Seaside design with more public space. It keeps the class signatures: a waterfront boardwalk that puts dining and bars close to the water, an aqua park with slides and a promenade that opens to the sea. Seashore has sailed the Caribbean from Florida, with calls at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, as well as the Mediterranean. It works well for travelers who want lots of outdoor space and plenty of dining options.
Best for: Couples and families who want a modern, open-air ship for a Caribbean or Mediterranean cruise.
