MSC Cruises’ MSC Seashore has welcomed her first guests for her inaugural voyage in the Mediterranean.
Seashore, the 19th ship in MSC’s fleet, aims to bring guests closer to the sea, offering striking design features and generous outdoor spaces.
Guests will also enjoy a wealth of new onboard experiences aboard MSC’s newest flagship, including the newly designed Chef’s Court, and a new entertainment venue, Le Cabaret Rouge.
Passengers were welcomed on board the first Seaside EVO ship today in Naples as part of her inaugural seven-night western Mediterranean itinerary.
Seashore will also embark guests in Barcelona, Marseille and Genoa on Fri, Sat, and Sun respectively, and will then call on Messina and Valletta.
Following her northern summer season in the western Med, Seashore will complete an 18-night transatlantic Grand Voyage to Miami, from where she will offer seven-night cruises with two different itineraries.
The first itinerary calls Ocho Rios, George Town, and Cozumel in the western Caribbean, and the second calls San Juan, Charlotte Amalie, and Puerto Plata in the eastern Caribbean.
Both itineraries also include a call at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the cruise line’s private island in The Bahamas.
Meanwhile, MSC has introduced a new shipboard property management system, Otalio.
The new technology automates onboard administrative tasks, allowing remote management by shoreside teams.
The new system brings benefits through increased flexibility and automation with a cloud platform enabling a global configuration across the MSC fleet, and throughout a range of different departments, improving internal efficiencies, tailoring guest services, and digitalising information for crews.
Onboard teams can centralise all guest information in one place, such as purchase preferences, complaint tracking and Voyagers Club member status.
Crews will also benefit from real-time updates from ashore, as well as options to digitalise processes such as housekeeping rotas and menu pricing, in what Chief Information Officer Daniele Buonaiuto has described as a “win-win scenario” to make life easier for both guests and crew members.
Otalio was first used onboard MSC Virtuosa, MSC’s flagship prior to Seashore.
