About MSC Seashore

MSC Seashore is the first Seaside EVO ship, a stretched version of MSC’s Seaside design delivered by Fincantieri in July 2021. At 170,412 gross tons and 1,112 feet long with 4,540 guests at double occupancy, 2,270 staterooms and a crew of 1,648, it is built to keep guests close to the water: the Waterfront Boardwalk wraps deck 8, the Bridge of Sighs and Infinity Bridge are glass-floored walkways over the sea, and the aft infinity pool looks straight down the wake.

Five pools include the Long Island pool deck and the Jungle Beach pool, and the Pirates Cove Aquapark has waterslides and a ropes course above. Nights center on the two-deck Le Cabaret Rouge lounge, the Madison Theatre and 19 bars from the Brooklyn Café to the Wine Cellar. A 2026 drydock added two complimentary grab-and-go venues, Red Cactus BBQ & Ribs and The Chicken Man, alongside Butcher’s Cut, Kaito, Hola! Tacos & Cantina and the Ocean Cay seafood restaurant. The MSC Yacht Club forward adds Grand and Owner’s Suites.

For winter 2026 to 2027 and summer 2027 MSC Seashore sails year-round from Port Canaveral on 3- and 4-night Bahamas cruises every Thursday and Sunday to Nassau and Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve. In early November 2027 it moves to Miami for 6- to 9-night Eastern Caribbean and Bahamas itineraries calling at Puerto Plata, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Grand Turk and St. Kitts, every one with a day at Ocean Cay. It suits Orlando families and couples who want a quick, sunny getaway on a modern ship.

MSC Seashore questions we answer every day

How big is MSC Seashore?
MSC Seashore is 170,412 gross tons and 1,112 feet long, carrying 4,540 guests at double occupancy and up to 5,632 with every berth filled, with 2,270 staterooms and a crew of 1,648. It was the first Seaside EVO ship when Fincantieri delivered it in July 2021, about 52 feet longer than MSC Seaside with roughly 200 more staterooms and extra public space.
What is the Seaside EVO Class?
Seaside EVO is the stretched evolution of MSC’s Seaside Class, made up of MSC Seashore and MSC Seascape. The design keeps the Seaside idea of bringing guests close to the water with a waterfront boardwalk, glass-floored bridges, an aft infinity pool and lots of outdoor deck, and adds a longer hull, more staterooms, a bigger Yacht Club and new venues such as Le Cabaret Rouge.
Where does MSC Seashore sail in 2026 and 2027?
Through 2027 MSC Seashore sails year-round from Port Canaveral on 3- and 4-night Bahamas cruises departing Thursdays and Sundays to Nassau and Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve. In early November 2027 it repositions to Miami for 6- to 9-night Eastern Caribbean and Bahamas itineraries calling at Puerto Plata, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Grand Turk and St. Kitts, each with a day at Ocean Cay, through at least March 2028.
Which staterooms are best on MSC Seashore?
Aft-facing balconies over the wake are the ones to ask for, and the Deluxe Balcony Aurea or Premium Balcony Aurea add spa access, a drinks package, the private Aurea Restaurant and the Top 19 solarium. Families should look at the Two-Bedroom Grand Suite Aurea. The MSC Yacht Club goes a step further with Grand, Royal and Owner’s Suites, butler service and its own restaurant and pool deck.
What is included in the fare on MSC Seashore?
Your fare covers the main dining rooms, the Marketplace Buffet, Red Cactus BBQ & Ribs, The Chicken Man, Madison Theatre shows, the pools, aquapark, gym, kids clubs and the beach day at Ocean Cay. Specialty restaurants, drinks, Wi-Fi and spa treatments are extra unless your experience level or a package covers them. SmartCruiser adds bonus onboard credit on MSC sailings where the line allows it, something you will not get booking direct.
What is Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve?
Ocean Cay is MSC’s private island in the Bahamas, about 65 miles east of Miami, with several beaches, a lagoon, food included in your fare, cabanas for rent and an evening lighthouse light show when the ship stays late. Every MSC Seashore sailing from Port Canaveral calls there, and Yacht Club guests have the private Ocean House beach club with its own restaurant and bar.
