MSC Seaside reinforces family focus with ‘cluster cabins’ for groups of 10
Hollie-Rae Merrick in Trieste
MSC Cruises’ new ship will offer ‘super family plus’ cabins for groups of up to 10 people. MSC Seaside, which will sail
year-round from Miami when it launches in 2017, will be “extremely kid-friendly”, according to the line’s chief executive, Gianni Onorato. It will also have a children-only restaurant. Speaking at the ship’s steel cutting in Trieste, Italy, Onorato said MSC was a “family-run company which always had families at heart”.
Agents at the steel cutting He said there would be ‘cluster
cabins’ for groups of up to 10 people, with a Super Family Plus option combining two balcony staterooms and an inside cabin. “We will have a restaurant that
is just for kids, and an amazing water park designed by White Water – and it will be the first time the company has built a water park on a ship,” he said. Onorato added that MSC Seaside would have the feel of a “boutique hotel” rather than that of MSC’s usual style. “It will be trendy, and more intimate and comfortable,” he said. “The cabins will be similar to those on small yachts.”
The new ship will also feature “It will be
trendy and more intimate. The cabins will be
similar to those on small yachts”
an enhanced Yacht Club – an area accessible only to guests staying in higher-grade cabins. The Yacht Club’s restaurant is also being re-sited to be within the Yacht Club area; on the line’s other ships, it is
on the opposite side of the ship. “On MSC
Seaside, Yacht Club guests won’t have
to leave that area and mix with other guests if they
don’t want to,” said Onorato.
