Spanning four decks, with approximately 32,000 square feet of private space, the new MSC Yacht Club onboard MSC Seashore is sure to entice even the most discerning traveler to try out a cruise onboard the ship.ย 

MSC Seashore will be sailing to MSC’s private Island Ocean Cay from November 2021, where guests booked into the Yacht Club experience will also have exclusive access to the cruise line’s private club on the island, Ocean House. 

Ship Within A Ship!

MSC has been developing its ultra-luxury Yacht Club concept since it first appeared on board in 2008. What started relatively small now incorporates everything a luxury traveler will want to see on a vessel. 

Onboard MSC Seashore guests will have a choice of no less than 131 exclusive suites, including two MSC Yacht Club Royal Suites with a private hot tub on a large balcony, as well as new MSC Yacht Club Duplex Suites.

The impressive Duplex Suites span two decks. The first has an open living and dining area with a sofa that converts to a double bed and a bathroom with a shower, while the second level holds the master bedroom and a bathroom with a bathtub. On the balcony is a jacuzzi to chill and sip champagne while looking out at the ocean. 

Other luxuries guests can enjoy onboard include all-inclusive food and beverages, a 21,000 square feet private pool and outdoor area, and MSC Cruisesโ€™ iconic Swarovski staircases. The offerings on flagship MSC Virtuosa will feature nearly the same, although there are only 103 suites available in the Yacht Club area. 

Own Private Club at Ocean Cay

The fun doesn’t stop on board, though; guests will be able to enjoy MSC’s private island resort of Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in the Bahamas.

Here guests can opt to join the rest of the guests on more than two miles of white sandy beaches or eat and drinks at one of the many food trucks and beach bars.

MSC Seashore: Bigger and Better

MSC is well known to build impressive ships, and MSC Seashore is undoubtedly a part of that. The vessel takes its theme from the Big Apple, New York, in particular.
