MSC Seascape entered service in December 2022 as the fourth and final Seaside-class ship. Homeported year-round in Miami, she runs weekly Caribbean itineraries and — since World America's arrival in 2025 — operates alongside MSC's flagship at the same port.
Seascape is structurally identical to sister Seashore but debuted several MSC-first venues: the Bridge of Sighs open-air passageway, the Le Cabaret Rouge circus theatre, and a Robotron thrill ride at the aft. Suite inventory again grows over the earlier Seaside sisters, and the Yacht Club here is the most complete of any non-World-class MSC ship.
For US Caribbean cruisers who want a modern MSC product but at slightly lower prices than the World-class flagship next door, Seascape is often the sweet spot in the fleet.
