MSC Cruises Details Amenities & Activities on MSC Seashore

MSC Cruises is gearing up for the autumn debut of its new flagship, MSC Seashore. 

65 percent of the vessel’s public spaces have been reimagined since they first debuted on Seashore’s sister Seaside-class ships. The vessel will boast nearly 140,000 square feet of outdoor space, a larger casino, and numerous pools and hot tubs.

“With every new cruise ship we introduce, MSC Cruises continuously looks to enhance and innovate the guest experience by adding new, immersive onboard features.” said Rubén Rodríguez, president of MSC Cruises USA.

“With anticipation building for our return to cruising from U.S. ports, we can’t wait for our guests to rediscover what they know and love about MSC Cruises… both on our ships returning to cruising this summer and on the new MSC Seashore arriving in Miami this November.”

1. Six Pools and Water Areas

Designed for warm climates, MSC Seashore will feature six different swimming pools to relax and cool off.

• The aft pool has been redesigned to create an infinity pool on deck 8 with a glass wall. It will be one of the largest infinity pools at sea and offer a variety of depths.
• The Long Island pool is the main lido deck pool, which will be surrounded with ample deck space and feature two depths as well as a fountain.
• The ship will include two infinity whirlpools — one on each side of the ship on the outer promenade deck. Each will offer 20 sea-facing seats with water jets.
• The Jungle Pool has been enhanced with the pool area spread over two decks, and a magrodome that can be closed to create an indoor pool area when needed. It’s located near the buffet on deck 16, perfect for a lunchtime snack with the family.
• Spanning two decks, The Pirates Cove Aquapark will include adventure trails, treasure hunts, a galleon for kids, and more. The Kraken’s tentacles wrap around the adventure trail on its way to the Long Island Pool, which is connected to this aquapark area. The Aquapark will also feature a waterslide with a virtual reality component that takes guests on an adventure through a medieval town being attacked by the Kraken.

2. An Expanded Casino

Those who love to spend time in the casino during a cruise are sure to be pleased with the casino aboard MSC Seashore, which will be larger than any of the other Seaside-class ones.

Located on deck 7, the 12,000+ square foot casino will feature 182 slot machines, 12 tables, and the latest gaming technology.

The space will feature a mix of reel, video, and poker slot machines, as well as classics such as Roulette, Blackjack, Three Card Poker, and Ultimate Texas Hold’em Poker.

4. MSC Aurea Spa

The MSC Aurea Spa will be an expansive space on MSC Seashore, featuring a large number of treatment rooms and a professional hair salon, nail salon, and barber shop.

The spa will also include a medi-spa center and an outdoor area to relax in the sun. And, of course, the spa will also boast a thermal area complete with a sauna, steam bath, whirlpool, and more.

5. Mall-Style Shopping

The shopping area on MSC Seashore will feature a completely new layout that’s 72 percent larger than that of her sister ships.

Highlights include:
