Now that cruises are starting to make a comeback, there is plenty to look forward to including the MSC flagship which is nearly four months away from arriving in the U.S. It follows news of the cruise line restarting operations from Florida in early August.
Not Long Until MSC Seashore Arrives in the U.S.
It won’t be too long until cruisers in the U.S. can enjoy the new MSC Seashore, which will begin cruises out of Miami, Florida in November 2021. With almost fours months until the new flagship arrives, guests can look forward to nearly 140,000 sq. ft. of outdoor space, new al fresco dining spaces, a raft simulator and so much more.
Rubén Rodríguez, president of MSC Cruises USA, said:
“With every new cruise ship we introduce, MSC Cruises continuously looks to enhance and innovate the guest experience by adding new, immersive onboard features.”
“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 — our enriching experiences, gourmet, internationally-inspired dining and award-winning entertainment — both on our ships returning to cruising this summer and on the new MSC Seashore arriving in Miami this November.”
One of the most anticipated new features on board the Seaside EVO-class vessel will be the first rafting simulator. Guests will wear VR headsets and be taken on a breath-taking 360° experience through beautiful and thrilling scenes. It’s a dynamic indoor attraction that’s never been seen before in the water park industry.
