MSC Seaside is a cruise ship built for MSC Cruises. The first of MSC's next-generation Seaside class vessels, it is the largest cruise ship ever to be constructed by its builder, Fincantieri of Italy, and features a custom-designed multi-story aqua park built by WhiteWater West of Canada.[2] The first steel cut took place on 22 June 2015 in Monfalcone. The keel was laid in Monfalcone on 4 March 2016,[3][4] and the vessel was floated out of the shipyard on 26 November.[5][6] When it debuted, it was the 14th largest cruise ship in the world, behind Freedom of the Seas and Independence of the Seas.


Seaside entered into service in December 2017. It is operating year-round to the Caribbean, from a renovated and expanded dedicated berth and terminal at Port of Miami, Florida, USA.[2] The naming ceremony was on 22 December 2017 in Miami.[7]

The ship was officially christened December 21, 2017 by her godmother, Italian actress Sophia Loren at a ceremony in Miami, Florida. [8]
