MSC Cruises and Fincantieri this week celebrated the “floating out” of the new MSC Seaview, with a ceremony (pictured) taking place at Italy’s Monfalcone shipyard.
Seaview is the second of MSC’s ‘Seaside’ generation of cruise ships, with a maximum capacity of almost 5,200 passengers.
Scheduled for a cruising debut in Jun 2018, MSC Seaview will sail her inaugural season in the Mediterranean before sailing south to Brazil for the winter 2018-19 season.
MSC Cruises executive chairman Pierfrancesco Vago said the float out of Seaview was another significant milestone in the MSC fleet expansion, part of a 10 year investment plan which will see six new ships delivered by 2020.
Sister ship MSC Seaside is set to enter service this coming Nov.
