MSC Seashore: Megaship delivers cool new tech & family fun

MSC Seashore launched in August 2021 as the latest in a line of mega-size smartships from MSC Cruises. The ship holds 4,540 passengers at double capacity and 5,179 people at maximum capacity.

The ship offers some cutting-edge tech, such as the RFID wristband that can open cabin doors and pay for drinks and a Family and Friends Locator app that keeps track of fellow shipmates who wear smart wristbands. You'll also find interactive touch screens throughout the ship and a voice-enabled assistant in every cabin.
