MSC Cruises has revealed that their latest flagship, MSC Seashore will be officially named at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in The Bahamas on 18 November,
making this the first Naming Ceremony for a cruise ship to be held at a private island.
The event will be attended by travel advisors and media as well as other key Company stakeholders. Departing Miami on 17 November, invitees will be able to get a first look at the new ship, claimed by MSC to be the newest and most innovative vessel to be deployed out of Miami this coming season, before she starts her inaugural 7-night cruise and U.S. season on 20 November and to make the most of the endless onboard entertainment, different activities as well as an incredible choice of bars and restaurants.
MSC says that as with every new MSC Cruises ship, Hollywood royalty Sophia Loren will perform the important role of Godmother as she officially names her 16th MSC Cruises ship, with the festivities taking place both onboard and on the island as the ship will remain docked throughout the night, with a gala dinner, live entertainment and more.
The naming of MSC Seashore will see the formal inauguration of Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, which opened in late 2019 and closed shortly thereafter due to the pandemic
The island has since gone through further work and significant improvements and this is an opportunity for MSC Cruises to showcase the island to the invitees.
