This last week has been really busy with cruise updates - a whole lot of new UK domestic cruises announced...
MSC Seashore, the first Seaside Evo class ship will launch in just six months, in August.
The ship will start with an inaugural season from August to November in the Mediterranean and will head to Miami in November 2021 to sail the Caribbean Sea.
MSC Seashore is introducing a number of new features and is designed around the theme of bringing the guest closer to the sea. Taking this into account, MSC Cruises has increased the public spaces and outdoor areas.
To the delight of the MSC Yacht Club guests, the ship will also have a more generous outdoors area and new luxurious suites for passengers.
Pierfrancesco Vago, Executive Chairman of MSC Cruises commented: “With each new ship we build, MSC Cruises continues to innovate and push design boundaries. MSC Seashore represents an evolution of the Seaside class as an extended and further enriched ship. 65% of the public areas have been reimagined to create something truly unique for their guests. The new aft design has allowed them to introduce a brand-new lounge, Cabaret Rouge, spanning two decks with panoramic views of the sea, offering new entertainment experiences.
The specialty restaurant experience has been completely redesigned with the Chef’s Court on deck 8, making this a go-to destination for bars and restaurants. Each of the pools have been enhanced including an impressive double-deck extended magrodome pool and an incredible infinity pool at the aft.”
