Who She's For: Texas-based cruisers who want a big modern MSC ship out of the brand-new Galveston Cruise Terminal 16, families who will use the Pirates Cove Aquapark and Adventure Trail ropes course, and suite travellers looking for a full MSC Yacht Club on a relatively new hull. Western Caribbean regulars who already know Costa Maya, Cozumel, and Roatán. Not for cruisers expecting Cirque du Soleil at Sea — that concept is limited to the Meraviglia-class ships, not the Seaside EVO class.

MSC Seascape is the second and final ship of the Seaside EVO Class, together with her only sister MSC Seashore (2021). The Seaside EVO class is an enlarged evolution of the original Seaside Class — MSC Seaside (2017) and MSC Seaview (2018) form the parent class but are not sisters of the EVO pair. Both Seaside EVOs were built at Fincantieri Monfalcone in Italy. Seascape's delivery occurred on 16 November 2022, and she was christened three weeks later in a ceremony at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal in New York — Sophia Loren's 18th MSC ship ceremony, though she appeared via a special broadcast rather than in person; Alexa Aponte-Vago (daughter of MSC Group chairman Gianluigi Aponte) cut the ribbon. Her defining Seaside-family features are outdoor-focused: the aft Infinity Pool with its wrap-around promenade, the glass-floored Bridge of Sighs walkway that extends out over the ship's side on Deck 16, the Pirates Cove Aquapark on Decks 18-19 (two AquaTube spiral slides, the AquaPlay 150 themed play structure, Pool Sider kids slide, and tipping bucket — supplied by WhiteWater West), and the Kraken-themed Adventure Trail ropes course on Deck 19. Unique to Seascape at sea is the Robotron robotic-arm amusement ride on Deck 20. On 7 November 2025 she repositioned from Miami to Galveston, Texas — MSC Cruises' first-ever Texas homeport — where she now runs 7-night Western Caribbean round-trips every Sunday through at least October 2027.
