MSC Cruises are following the sun with MSC Seaside. Inspired by a love of Mediterranean style cruising, MSC Cruises have incorporated a design that allows for maximum sun worship and incredible views for their first Seaside Class ship. The large waterfront boardwalk features plenty of places for guests to sunbathe, eat or shop while still admiring the beautiful sea views. Two panoramic lifts heighten sea vistas and glass bottomed catwalks allow guests to walk on water with stunning views of the ocean below. Christened and docked in Miami, MSC Seaside sails to a range of sunny destinations in the Caribbean from December 2017.
