Home Port

Miami, Florida

MSC Seashore is the first ship in a new class designed around maximising the connection between passengers and the sea. Her signature design feature is a panoramic promenade that runs around the exterior on Deck 8, with over 70% of staterooms having sea views. Based in Miami during the Caribbean season, she sails Western Caribbean itineraries that often include a stop at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve — MSC's stunning private island in the Bahamas.

✦ The standout feature

The Waterfront Promenade — a 472-foot promenade deck that circles the exterior of the ship at sea level, giving passengers direct ocean access from the outside walkway. Combined with the cascade of balconies and glass walls throughout, no MSC ship keeps you closer to the sea.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve?▼

Ocean Cay is MSC's private island in the Bahamas, a former industrial sand-extraction site that MSC transformed into a pristine marine reserve. It features white sand beaches, snorkelling in protected reefs, beach clubs, and evening entertainment under the stars. MSC Seashore regularly calls there.

What is the MSC Yacht Club?▼

The Yacht Club is MSC's ship-within-a-ship concept, offering an exclusive complex of suites, a private pool, restaurant, lounge, and 24-hour butler service. Yacht Club guests board via a private gangway, have priority access to everything on the ship, and enjoy a genuinely elevated experience. It's widely regarded as excellent value compared to equivalent products on other lines.

Is MSC Seashore good for non-European passengers?▼

Yes, increasingly so. MSC has adapted its Caribbean-based ships significantly for North American guests — adding more English-language entertainment, familiar food options, and adjusting the overall experience. That said, there's still a distinctly international flavour onboard, which many passengers love.

How does MSC Seashore compare to MSC World America?▼

MSC World America (2025) is the newer, larger flagship with more dining venues, the LiquidO water park, and a wider range of Yacht Club options. Seashore offers a more intimate experience and her signature waterfront promenade design that World America doesn't have in the same way.
