MSC Cruises stunning new thrill ride will take guests over the edge of the ship and flip them upside down.
Robotron on the new flagship MSC Seascape is a robotic arm that seats three guests – flying them nearly 175 feet above the sea. The rollercoaster-like experience gives riders an unobstructed 360 degree view of the horizon as they hang over the edge of the deck, flip upside down and move in all directions.
“MSC Cruises’ is committed to bringing our newest ships to the U.S. We’re the first cruise line to offer something like Robotron at sea, and we can’t wait for thrill-seekers to discover the ride of their life surrounded by the beauty of the Caribbean,” says Rubén A. Rodríguez, president of MSC Cruises USA. “Our new virtual reality motorcycles and flight simulator – plus fan favorites like the MSC Formula Racer and XD Cinema – will also feature truly immersive experiences, providing the most exhilarating line-up of rides we’ve ever offered.”
Robotron riders will be able to select their desired thrill level – a first among robotic arm rides – ranging from family-friendly to high-intensity. They can also set the mood with colored lights, music preferences and more. Coupled with the adjacent video screen, Robotron acts as a moving DJ booth, with the rhythm and bass visualized as colorful patterns and pulses of light while the robotic arm is bouncing and twisting in tempo.
MSC Seascape will be launched in New York at a naming ceremony on December 7, 2022 and then go into service from PortMiami, offering year-round Caribbean cruises.
