"This prototype - it has emphasized the MSC managing director Cruises, Gianni Onorato - is meaningfully various from any other ship that we have never constructed before; it is a ship for cruises in warm seas. The design of the ship incarnates our passion for the sea with innovative equipments in order to allow with our croceristi to appreciate to the maximum the pleasure of the open sea and the sun. It will be ship MSC with the maximum space in the open air and will offer to the crocieristi also more cabins with marine balcony, panoramas and common spaces".
The managing director of Fincantieri, Giuseppe Bono, has remembered that MSC Seaside will be the larger ship never constructed in the yards of the Italian navalmeccanico group. "This new one concept - it has specified - will supply to the shipowner solutions for a greater generation of yield, with more cabins regarding a comparable modern project, plus external spaces on the bridges and an increment in the performances, being meaningfully more efficient".
