The MSC Seashore will depart from Miami, Florida to travel to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in November. Currently, the prices for this cruise are quite impressive. You can get the inside cabin for €998, the outside cabin for €1,318 and the balcony cabin for €1,328 – each price being per person. Full board and tips are included.
It is best to read the current MSC Cruises regulations regarding Covid on the ship in advance. Among other things, you must wear mouth and nose protection in all public areas if you are not in your seat. You must have proof that you have been vaccinated or have recovered. Individual shore leave is possible again, but depends on the regulations of the ports.
MSC cruises, booked until the end of May, can be changed flexibly, but a fare difference may apply.
You have to be fully vaccinated for at least 14 days to enter the United States, with an approved vaccine, unless you are a US resident/citizen. You can read more about the entry requirements at the CDC.
You get full board service with breakfast, lunch and dinner (some speciality restaurants are excluded) as well as cold and hot water, coffee, tea and milk with meals. All cabins have double beds, which can also be converted to single beds if required.

The Ship
The MSC Seashore was commissioned in 2021 and is 339 meters long and 41 meters wide. A total of up to 5,600 passengers and 1,300 crew members fit on the ship. There is an aqua park, baby and kids club, spa and yacht club and all kinds of entertainment programs. There are also several restaurants (including speciality restaurants, for which you have to pay extra) and bars. A look into the balcony cabin:
Prices for internet packages are not listed on MSC’s website, but become available once booked. You can purchase daily packages, worth up to $20 per day. You can find more information about Wi-Fi on MSC cruise ships here.
When booking the flights, you should always make sure that you arrive early. If you are late, the ship will not wait for you. So it is better to plan a one-day (or even better, two or more days) buffer.
