Cool Down in One of Six Pools
MSC Seascape will be the ultimate escape for sun-worshipers and ocean lovers, with a next-level pool experience offering a range of features to connect guests with the sea.
The stunning aft infinity pool extends to the very rear of the ship near the water on deck 8, with only a glass wall separating swimmers from the ocean and offering uninterrupted waterscape vistas. On each side of the ship, two relaxing infinity whirlpools present similarly striking views
In the main pool area, ample deck space surrounds a 360° water fountain island, the Long Island Pool offer offering a variety of depths, and submerged sunbeds. Right next door, families will discover the Pirate’s Cove Aquapark, a kids’ favorite that features adventure trails and an impressive virtual reality experience on the main waterslide.
Another enhanced water-attraction is the beautifully lush Jungle Pool area spanning two decks with tons of space to relax, complete with surrounding loungers and convenient bar. This popular area includes a retractable roof that allows it to be either open-air or enclosed.
Connect with Nature at Ocean Cay
Like all of MSC Cruises ships sailing from ports in the United States, MSC Seascape will call at the one-of-a-kind Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve as part of every itinerary. Ocean Cay is a stunning private island destination—formerly an industrial sand extraction site that has since been lovingly restored to pristine condition. After years of hard work, passion and dedication, the island is now the centerpiece of a breathtaking 64-square-mile marine reserve designed to connect guests with nature, making it the perfect spot to take a deep breath and just relax. This slice of paradise offers white sandy beaches where chairs, umbrellas and cabanas await guests for a relaxing day of soaking up the spirit of The Bahamas while surrounded by sweeping panoramas of crystal blue waters at every turn.
The island also features its own Spa at Ocean Cay, featuring eight private cabanas located directly on the beach with a stunning sea view and offering exclusive Ocean Cay full body massages. Options include the traditional Ocean Cay Smooth Breeze Massage to ease tired and aching muscles and the deep, rhythmic Ocean Cay Deep Blue Massage to really work deep muscle tension. Guests can greet the sun with open-air outdoor yoga classes, complementing those offered on board MSC Seascape. For more active guests, a stand-up paddle board excursion offers breathtaking ocean views combined with a great workout.
