Enjoy a ten-night festive Christmas cruise onboard the extended and enhanced MSC Seasshore, now with a variety of brand-new features, spaces and experiences for guests.
Board your cruise ship in the winter sun of Port Canaveral, and set off on a seven-night cruise of the Caribbean. You'll call at Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico, but the real star of this itinerary is MSC's exclusive Ocean Cay Marine Reserve in the Bahamas.
You'll spend three days at this incredible Marine Reserve, which offers guests over 2 miles of white sand beaches to spread out and relax beside crystal blue water, and activities for all ages day and night.
Miami is a city of wildly diverse districts, jigsawed into a vast urban corridor from two technically separate cities: mainland Miami and the huge sand bar known as Miami Beach.If you’re sticking to the most popular areas in Miami Beach and downtown, though, you can zip around easily by bus and on foot. During an MSC cruise in the Caribbean most people spend their time in South Beach, a fairly small area at the southern end of the sand bar, where you’ll find many of Florida’s leading art galleries, trendsetting restaurants, and much of its boisterous club scene.

Design Features
MSC Seashore pays tribute to New York City, which as a destination represents the spirit of discovery and cultural experiences that is at the heart of the MSC Cruises guest experience. As such, the design features, public areas and venue names are inspired by the metropolitan U.S. city.
These include an imposing three-metre-high replica of the Statue of Liberty at the heart of the casino and a newly designed expansive retail and entertainment area, aptly named Times Square. The main feature of this new area is an impressive 8.5 metre-high LED wall spanning four decks with a projection of the iconic skyline of this entertainment hub in Manhattan that can change from day to night.
Environmental Stewardship
MSC Seashore features some of the most advanced environmental technologies currently available. Thanks to this, the vessel has received the ‘Sustainable Ship’ notation from the classification society RINA.
Air emissions
• 98% reduction of sulphur oxide (SOx) and 90% reduction of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions thanks to the most advanced technologies.
Energy efficiency
• Wide range of energy-saving equipment to maximise efficiency such as smart heating, ventilation and air conditioning.
Wastewater & Protecting Marine Life
• Advanced wastewater treatment system with higher purification standards than most wastewater treatment facilities ashore.

Danza del Mare
The sublime sculpture Danza del Mare was created for the MSC Foundation in partnership with Venini, one of the world’s most esteemed glassmakers in the world which this year celebrates its 100 Anniversary.
The sculpture is located in the MSC Foundation Centre area, rising from deck 5 to deck 8, surrounded by a mirror wall that proliferates the light and colours emanating from it, lit by a spotlight located in its base.
MSC Seashore is the perfect location for the sculpture, bringing its message of care for the sea to thousands of voyagers as the ship sails immersed every day in the wonders of the world’s oceans and seas, their rich and infinitely varied splendour.
Outdoor Areas
At 339 metres, MSC Seashore is the longest ship in the fleet and offers 13,000sqm of outdoor space. Stand-out design features include spectacular glass-floored Bridge of Sighs located at the unique vantage point on deck 16 - 22 metres above the Infinity Pool, stunning panoramic aft elevators and stylish glass-floor catwalks on either side of the ship on the waterfront promenade.
Nature made it beautiful, we made it unique!
