About the Ship

MSC Seaside

MSC Seaside was inspired by Miami beach condos with a unique design featuring extensive glass surfaces and outdoor spaces connected to the sea. She features an aqua park and a seafront promenade.

Ship Highlights

Large resort-style ship with extensive amenities

Dining Experience

MSC brings Mediterranean flair to dining with Italian-inspired menus in the main dining room, buffet, and pizzeria. Specialty options include the Butcher's Cut steakhouse, Kaito sushi and teppanyaki, and HOLA! Tacos & Cantina. The MSC Yacht Club offers exclusive fine dining.

Entertainment & Activities

MSC features Cirque du Soleil at Sea (Meraviglia and Bellissima), elaborate production shows, and the F1 Simulator. Family-friendly highlights include the Aquapark waterslides, LEGO Experience areas, and the Sportsplex with bowling and basketball. With 19 decks to explore, there's always something new to discover.

Staterooms & Suites

MSC offers a wide range from interior cabins to the ultra-exclusive MSC Yacht Club — a ship-within-a-ship luxury experience with 24-hour butler service, private pool, restaurant, and lounge. Balcony staterooms and Aurea Spa suites provide upgraded comfort. MSC Seaside accommodates up to 5,179 guests.

Good to Know

As one of the largest ships at sea, plan your days ahead to make the most of the extensive amenities and avoid peak-time crowds at popular venues. Consider a drink package or specialty dining package if you plan to dine outside the complimentary venues regularly.

"Our experience on MSC Seaside was absolutely incredible. The ship is beautiful and well-maintained, and the ports of call were amazing. We booked all our excursions through Vacation Booker and saved a fortune compared to the cruise line prices."

"This was our third cruise on MSC Seaside and it never disappoints. The staff is wonderful and the itinerary was perfect. We used Vacation Booker for a private snorkeling tour that was the highlight of the entire trip."

"First-time cruisers and we chose MSC Seaside. The ship exceeded all expectations. We loved how easy it was to book our shore excursions in advance, and the return-to-ship guarantee gave us total peace of mind."
