About the ship
MSC Seaside, the first Seaside Class ship, debuted in 2017 and broke the rules of cruise ship design: it links indoor and outdoor spaces to connect you with the sea like never before.
On deck 8, a waterfront promenade just above the water brings together restaurants, bars, pools and sunbathing areas, while two glass-floored walkways and panoramic lifts offer splendid views. It carries 5,084 guests in 2,026 cabins.
