This will be the first MSC Cruises newbuild named in New York and heralds the city's addition as a year-round homeport (for MSC Meraviglia, from Brooklyn) starting in April.
MSC Seascape has 4,540 lower berths, 11 dining venues, 19 bars and lounges and six swimming pools, including an aft infinity pool. A new featured amusement is Robotron, a robotic arm with an attached gondola that seats three riders, flying them 53 meters above the sea, twisting and turning and flipping upside down.
Second inaugural inside a month
MSC Seascape is the line's second ship to be launched in less than a month following the November naming ceremony of MSC Cruises' first LNG ship, MSC World Europa, in Doha, Qatar. A second LNG vessel, MSC Euribia, is due to enter service in summer 2023.
PortMiami home
MSC Seascape is scheduled to depart New York on Dec. 8, bound for PortMiami where it will begin alternating weeklong cruises to the eastern and western Caribbean, both visiting Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.
The eastern route also calls at Nassau, San Juan and Puerto Plata, while the western itinerary includes Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios.
