Seaside EVO Class · Caribbean & Bahamas
The second Seaside EVO-class ship, MSC Seascape entered service in 2022. Its design emphasizes a seaside promenade on the lower decks and extensive outdoor deck space, making it well suited to warm Caribbean cruising. A stern water park and ropes course, along with a glass-floored walkway extending over the sea, provide plenty of outdoor activities. In winter 2026/27, it is scheduled to homeport at Galveston, Texas, for 7-night Western Caribbean cruises.
