Feeling more at one with the sea and sun, all while enjoying the conveniences that only a technologically advanced smart ship can offer, is yours for the taking with the launch of one of MSC Cruises' newest ships; MSC Seaview.

MSC Cruises, the world's largest privately owned cruise line, is creating a technological masterpiece perfect for the sea. MSC Seaview, complete with a cutting edge beach condo concept design, will bring guests closer to the sea with unmatched panoramic sea views. Set to take its maiden voyage in early June of 2018 from Genoa, Italy, this impeccable ship will offer the largest ratio of outdoor space per guest at sea. The outdoor space is a real benefit to travelers because it maximizes the opportunity to enjoy the sunshine while strolling the ship or watching a picturesque sunset. State-of-the-art design increases the number of balcony staterooms, sea views and public areas.

Distinct design features of the MSC Seaview avails guests to an impressive 360 degree promenade, flanked by glass catwalks. This beautiful public space will double as a recreation area for leisurely walks, al fresco dining or boutique browsing. If the promenade features are not enough to make you stop what you're doing and take notice, this ship kicks in some really incredible smart features.

By partnering with technology leader Samsung, MSC Cruises plans to provide guests with a next-generation technological bang for their buck. The MSC Seaview will feature Near Field Communication (NFC) that utilizes a cruise card, bracelet or smartphone for convenient options like geo-location of children, stateroom access and on-board payment. Interactive screens will offer guests the modern simplicity of selecting fascinating port of call excursions, booking incredible Broadway style shows or selecting one-of-a-kind culinary experience restaurants. Communication with mobile devices and receiving important information via push notifications will be customized to guest preferences by iBeacon technology.

While MSC Seaview showcases many innovations and smart design, it delivers on all the standards that the MSC Cruises fleet is known for. Accommodations will remain inviting and comfortable; outstanding dining experiences and award-winning entertainment will abound. Family and children activities will be in full-swing on this new cruise ship. And, as always, noteworthy service and unforgettable shore excursions will make your vacation one to remember.
