MSC Seascape, MSC Cruises’ latest fun-filled flagship, reached New York City on 5 December (New York time) ahead of her glamorous Naming Ceremony. The event will take place on Wednesday 7 December at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal, and will be the Line’s first ship to be named in New York City, in recognition of the addition of New York as a new homeport in April 2023 bringing even more choice of North American embarkation ports and itineraries for MSC Cruises guests from both North America and the rest of the world.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, a number of lucky travel partners, joined MSC Cruises AU/NZ on Sydney Harbour.  Hosted by Lisa Teiotu, Sales Director, MSC Cruises AU/NZ travel partners were treated to champagne and canapes aboard a luxury yacht.  A sunny Sydney day allowed travel partners to engage in a true connection with the sea, to be educated on MSC Cruises latest flagship, MSC Seascape.

MSC Seascape will offer an immersive experience through the beautiful design and her impressive outdoor spaces that can be enjoyed for relaxation, dining, and entertainment. Some of the key highlights include:
