The fast-growing MSC Cruises fleet officially welcomed its new flagship MSC Seascape in a glittering ceremony in New York. The ship will use Manhattan Cruise Terminal as home port for cruises beginning in April 2023.
One of the highlights of the traditional maritime ceremony was a stunning performance from international singer-songwriter Matteo Bocelli, hot off the heels of his performance at the naming ceremony of MSC World Europa. Godmother of the MSC Cruises fleet and international movie icon Sophia Loren blessed the ship virtually and Alexa Aponte-Vago, daughter of MSC Group’s founder and executive chairman Gianluigi Aponte, performed the traditional cutting of the ribbon to officially name the ship MSC Seascape.
The ship features 2,270 cabins with 12 different types of staterooms and suites. Advanced onboard entertainment options, including ROBOTRON – an amusement ride that offers the full thrill of a rollercoaster at sea combined with a personalized DJ music experience.
MSC Seascape will do winter cruises from Miami before heading to New York for spring and summer cruises to the Caribbean and the Bahamas.
