All these goals, and others that are next, have been achieved successfully and this is not never taken for granted. For this reason I consider this ship the best symbol not only of the recovery for the entire cruise industry, but also the ability of the group to leverage its own skills and its own solidity to fully preserve the own workload."
MSC Seashore will start the inaugural season in the Mediterranean with the classic cruise of the "Six Pearls" which will touch Genoa, Naples, Messina, Valletta, Malta, Barcelona and Marseille.
