This Brand-new Ship Has One of the Largest Yacht Clubs in Its Fleet, Endless Adventure, and a Glass-bottomed Bridge

MSC Seascape just set sail — here's what it's like on board.

Christine Burroni

The MSC Seascape may share many similar — or even identical — features with its predecessors, but when it comes to luxury, the fleet’s newest vessel certainly leveled up. The new ship sailed on its inaugural journey with guests from Rome to New York City this past weekend and will go on to sail out of Miami to the Caribbean for future trips.

While the European cruise line has become known for its luxury ship-within-a-ship concept, called Yacht Club , the Seascape boasts one of its largest clubs with 131 suites — with five categories to choose from — taking up 32,000 square feet. Located at the front of the ship, most exclusive Yacht Club spaces, like the private dining area or pool deck, are afforded sweeping ocean views.

In addition to a private restaurant with a regularly changing menu, and both indoor and outdoor lounge space, passengers who make a Yacht Club reservation are treated to expedited embarkation, 24-hour butler and concierge service, and access to the spa’s Thermal Suite where a sauna, steam room, and whirlpool awaits. Members will also have access to the ship's Top Sail Lounge for coffee, tea, and light bites at any time of day.

Yacht Club guests also enjoy the ship's premium drink package, an unpacking or packing service, a morning newspaper delivery of their choice, and the ability to select a specific pillow for customized comfort.

Sailing the blue water of the Caribbean while tucked in a super-exclusive setting may seem exceptionally relaxing, but the MSC Seascape also offers just the opposite for those looking for a bit of an adrenaline rush — with an extreme thrill ride and virtual reality experiences.

Adrenaline junkies can take a ride on the ship's Robotron , an attraction unique to the ship that will bring riders nearly 175 feet above water and flip upside down, moving in all directions to offer unobstructed 360-degree views. 

Those looking to keep their feet on the ground can still get their adventure fix with a walk across the Bridge of Sighs, a 72-foot-high glass-bottomed bridge.

The MSC Seascape is also home to a variety of virtual reality experiences. Riders can choose from Formula 1 racing, a flight simulator, and motorcycle riding.

“ MSC Seascape is an exciting addition to our fleet of Seaside Class ships with its elevated onboard experiences that will surprise and delight all ages," Ruben Rodriguez, President, MSC Cruises USA exclusively told Travel + Leisure. " From one of the largest and most luxurious Yacht Clubs in our fleet to interactive, high-tech experiences like the first Robotron at sea and immersive VR experiences, MSC Seascape brings unparalleled entertainment and thrills to our guests.”

Elsewhere on board, the ship’s interior is very similar to that of MSC’s other vessels, like the line's one-year-old MSC Seashore, including its Times Square–inspired décor, Swarovski crystal–adorned staircases, and Atrium space where live entertainment takes place.

Fans of the ship's fleet will also recognize its signature restaurants including Butcher's Cut steakhouse, Ocean Cay seafood restaurant, and more. Its lively sports bar is the perfect spot to catch any game around the world — and there are 18 other bars and lounges on board, some of which offer live music.

MSC Seascape journeys set sail from Miami to the Caribbean where passengers can visit the company's private Bahamas island, Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.

A ship within a ship: Finding my happy place in MSC Seascape’s Yacht Club

Big ships can be intimidating for passengers like me who enjoy quiet time watching the sea, and a smaller, more intimate and less crowded experience. However, you may be surprised to learn that big ships, such as MSC Seascape DO offer an array of opportunities for intimate cruising or a romantic getaway. You can get that “small ship feeling” aboard a big ship!

On December 7th, MSC held its first cruise ship naming ceremony at New York City’s Pier 88. I was invited aboard MSC Seascape for a ship tour, gala dinner, and an overnight port stay.

I had never sailed with MSC Cruises previously, as I am typically drawn to much smaller ships with fewer than 300 passengers. However, I am always open for something new! As I approached the port under cloudy skies, there she was, the largest cruise ship ever to dock in Manhattan at an awe inspiring 170,000 gross tons and with a capacity of nearly 6,000 guests.

The ship was gorgeous! But…what really caught my attention was the MSC Yacht Club, an intimate and luxurious private “ship within a ship”, where you can experience the best of big ship cruising and small ship intimacy.

The glamourous four-deck atrium contains sparkling chrome fixtures and a magnificent Swarovski Crystal inlaid staircase – which I was later told holds 52,000 crystals. Music was pumping from a shiny stage which featured a live band and massive LED screen spanning several decks with changing images of the New York City skyline. The new MSC Seascape impressed me with its state-of-the-art technology, sophisticated design, chic style, over-the-top swimming pools, bars, restaurants, shows, lounges and a casino. I couldn’t wait to get settled in my cabin and explore the ship before the Gala ceremony.

A range of cabins and suites

My balcony cabin on Deck 15 (Cabin 15138) was very comfortable with a king bed, a pull-out sofa and a small desk area. A small closet and a few drawers were more than adequate for my needs. A coffee maker, safety deposit box, and a small fridge along with a hairdryer were provided in the cabin. I enjoyed having serious room-darkening curtains in my cabin so that I wasn’t awakened by the early morning light.

There are 2,270 cabins, featuring 12 different kinds of suites and staterooms with and without balconies. There were options to meet everyone’s needs.

Pools and Entertainment

There are six pools, including an infinity pool, a spacious spa, an indoor/outdoor jungle pool and bar, area, two 20-person infinity hot tubs, and the Bridge of Sighs, a glass-bottom walkway. A large outdoor adventure park, the new Robotron ride and other Virtual Reality experiences are also available onboard.

Nearly every genre and style of popular live music can be found at the 19 bars and lounges onboard. The most popular bars before and after the naming ceremony were the Champagne Bar serving caviar and chilled seafood, and the bar inside the Casino. I was surprised to find that coffee and espresso were available at every bar, an ode to MSC’s Italian roots!

Food Glorious Food

Trying all 11 restaurants on the MSC Seascape could be an activity unto itself.

Complimentary Mediterranean and international fare are available in the main restaurants, and there are oodles of choices at the Buffet. To dine in the specialty restaurants including Butcher’s Cut Steak House, Ocean Cay Seafood restaurant, Kaito Japanese Teppanyaki and Sushi Bar, and Hola! Tacos and Cantina, a fee would apply and reservations are required.

If the lobster tails, Caesar salad, and dessert I enjoyed at the Gala Dinner are indicative of the quality of the food and excellent service on the ship at all times, MSC Seascape will not disappoint. The New York Cheesecake in the shape of a big apple with a chocolate Statue of Liberty was the perfect way to end our gala dinner.

The Yacht Club – a ship within a ship

It took many hours to tour the ship moving from deck to deck, forward to aft to see the entire MSC Seascape . I loved every inch of the ship; It was a floating city, an entertainment center, a foodie’s paradise and so much more all on one vessel, however when I entered the Yacht Club with private suites on four decks (Decks 16,17, 18 and 19) I truly found my happy place.

I was wowed by the elegance of the Yacht Club suites, many of which have extra-large balconies and their own outdoor hot tubs. A special priority key card for the elevators takes you directly to your deck without stopping on any other floors. A dazzling Swarovski crystal staircase connected the decks within the Yacht club.

After seeing the indoor and outdoor spaces in the Yacht Club, it felt like the kind of small ship experience I typically look for. The advantage of the Yacht Club is that you get all the perks of being on a “big ship”, like shows, bars, amusements, pools and multiple food options, but you can retreat to your quiet Yacht Club oasis at your leisure.

Additional reasons to book in the Yacht Club are priority embarkation and disembarkation, unlimited in-cabin mini-bar drinks, free alcohol in the Topsail Lounge, reserved seating in the theater, a personal butler, concierge service, and an exclusive restaurant and lounge, pool, hot tubs and a sun deck!

If you’re interested in experiencing the “best of both worlds” – the amenities and entertainment of a big ship but also the ability to enjoy a more intimate experience, MSC Seascapes provides the perfect opportunity to do both.

To be honest, I have avoided big ship cruising up until now, however seeing the MSC Seascape Yacht Club has completely changed my mind.

Thank you to MSC Cruises and All Things Cruise.

I tried a ship-within-a-ship cruise experience and it was worth it for the endless perks—here’s why

The MSC Yacht Club affords travelers a totally different cruising experience, but you’ll have to splurge.

I heard tales of luxury from people about the ritzy MSC Yacht Club , the ship-within-a-ship concept where discerning passengers enjoy their own area of the cruise ship that includes a dedicated restaurant, private lounge, separate pool and sundeck as well as private butlers and concierges to take of any whim while cruising. The elevated Yacht Club boasts priority everything while sailing MSC.

I sailed on a four-night cruise on the new MSC Seashore, a glitzy ship with Italian flair intermingled with references to New York City at every turn. Although the ship was well-appointed and had amazing dining, drinking and entertainment venues, and a bountiful Top Sail main buffet, thousands of passengers made the ship feel crowded at times, elevators were slow, and as I strolled through the general pools, they were boisterous and crowded.

RECOMMENDED: 10 things about cruising on an adults-only ship that might surprise you

Switch gears to MSC Seashore’s Yacht Club, passkey-protected for lucky guests, and is a 180 from the ship’s general spaces. Once you scan your handy Yacht Club wrist badge, or your room key, you’re instantly given entrance to a breathtaking retreat of 131 staterooms and suites. All this luxury does come at a price. Cruise fares will vary based on destination, time of year, and cabin category, but generally speaking you can expect to pay double for the Yacht Club. And from my experience, it’s worth it. Read more about why you should splurge.

You’re fast-tracked through everything

The Yacht Club’s exclusivity and impeccable service standard started from the moment I got dropped off at the Port Canaveral cruise terminal. There were hundreds of people waiting to board at 1pm on embarkation day. I saw in the distance a canopy that said MSC Yacht Club. My husband and I wheeled our carry-on luggage to the representative under the canopy. I gave her my name and within two seconds, she gave me a sticker to wear and up we ascended on the escalator to check in. Just five minutes later, I was directed to the dedicated check-in area for Yacht Club guests. To my right, I saw about 1,000 people serpentine through ropes to do general check-in. I felt a sense of relief; who wants to wait in that line? Five minutes later, a butler from the Yacht Club insisted on wheeling my luggage to board the ship and I was in my room in a total on 12 minutes from the time I stepped foot out of the car to my stateroom in the Yacht Club.

Relaxing and streamlined

In addition, Yacht Club guests have the freedom to get off the ship first for excursions. Your butler will happily escort you off the ship with a smile. Guests also can disembark on the last morning first, which is a big convenience. Your butler walks you right to the place you disembark, bypassing crowds and hassles. Port Canaveral is about an hour away from Orlando International Airport, and we took a 10 am flight home. We didn’t have to linger around until the afternoon for our flight home.

Another perk is that there’s a special seating area in the theater for shows. All the shows were excellent during my voyage. All other ship passengers have to make reservations in advance for shows but that’s not the case for the privileged Yacht Club passengers. As long as you arrive about 10 minutes before any show you choose, a crew member from the Club will allow you entry into a special roped-off section. Again, no rushing through dinner—you have the flexibility to plan your evenings your way.

Your Yacht Club package is packed with remarkable value

The price tag may sound daunting, but there’s lots of value there. All Yacht Club cabins and suites include a premium drink package that covers beverages up to $15. You can use this perk both in the Yacht Club and throughout the ship. In addition, your package includes a two-device Wi-Fi package, which worked well during my sailing. Finally, you get access to the thermal spa suite, which is a place to indulge after a day in port or a sea day. Commonly, there’s a taboo regarding mini-bars, but not in the Yacht Club. It’s stocked each day with the beverages you want; just tell your butler and consider it done.

You get perks ashore too

If your sailing includes a call to Ocean Cay, MSC’s private island, Yacht Club guests get an elevated experience there too. Yacht Club guests enjoy a private area, and a dedicated restaurant called the Ocean House. While other ship guests were hosted to a buffet of predictable fare, I enjoyed a lobster roll, and my husband chose carne asada. In my opinion, one thing that could be improved was the tram service to the Yacht Club’s private area. We were told the last tram back was 3:30pm if we didn’t want to trek a 15-minute walk in the heat. Since we were docked in Ocean Cay for the evening and weren’t sailing, I was a bit dismayed by this logistical quirk. I felt like I was keeping an eye on my phone to make sure I didn’t miss the last tram.

You have private areas with curated food and drink and outdoor spaces

Within the Yacht Club complex, there’s the Yacht Club Restaurant, Top Sail Lounge and the One Pool Buffet, which are all exclusive to Yacht Club guests. Obviously, the food and service are steps above other dining venues of the ship, I can vouch for that. Although the food is delicious, if you don’t want to pay extra to dine at the specialty restaurants or fuss in the main buffet, eating three meals a day in the Yacht Club restaurant can get a bit monotonous. The breakfast is the same daily, and lunch and dinner offer a menu with daily specials plus a few standby selections like a hamburger or pasta each day. Although the Yacht Club Restaurant concept is desirable, I would strongly suggest dining in other venues on board, especially for dinner. I thoroughly enjoyed specialty dining in Ocean Cay Restaurant, Butcher’s Cut, and Kaito Teppanyaki. I also want to mention that late afternoon high tea is offered daily at the Yacht Club Restaurant. It was one of the nicest I have experienced at sea.

Also available exclusively to Yacht Club passengers is the Top Sail Lounge, which offers panoramic water views and has chef-curated selections from morning through late night. We enjoyed popping into the lounge at all hours to try finger foods and sweets. The One Pool Buffet offers a more casual option for breakfast and lunch by the pool. The buffet has grilled fish, sandwiches and lots of delicious options if you want to dine outside.

There’s also an exclusive area with a private pool and two whirlpools for Yacht Club guests only. The sun deck loungers are very comfortable and I never had to worry about finding a lounger, there are ample. One issue I had was that there was almost no shade on the sun deck; there were shaded day beds for Royal Suite and Owners Suite guests, but beyond those, I couldn’t find any shade, which was disappointing.

You can justify the price at the end of your cruise

Overall, the best way to explain my enthusiasm for my MSC Yacht Club experience is this: it’s better to book an interior stateroom in the Yacht Club than a luxe cabin outside the Yacht Club. It’s worth the splurge and you return home feeling truly pampered and it’s money well-spent. And I make this prediction: Once you try a ship-within-a-ship concept like the MSC Yacht Club, you won’t want cruise any other way. Bon Voyage!

Been there, done that? Think again, my friend.

MSC SEASCAPE YACHT CLUB REVIEW

By LewiLewi , May 12, 2023 in MSC Cruises

Recommended Posts

" Thank you for sharing your review with everyone at Cruise Critic. Please consider submitting it to the site for publication as well: Click: Write a Review . "

LewiLewi was awarded the badge 'Great Review'

We were guests on MSC Seascape last week. We had a Handicapped Accessible cabin in the Yacht Club. We were amazed at the attention and concern given to us by all the crew members. Everyone knew our names, offered help whenever needed, and made our cruise wonderful in spite of physical problems that occurred occasionally.  We found the food in the dining room to be very good and service excellent. The lunch buffet on the pool deck was very good, and again, service excellent. Live music accompanied our dinners, and the views from the dining room were beautiful overlooking the ocean and ports from way up high.

Our balcony cabin was very large and the balcony itself was enormous. One of the greatest perks was the electric door and ramp,that required just a push of a button to operate, making it very easy for my husband to go out on the balcony.

We did try to go to the theatre, but had problems with the seating due to the fact that all seats required a step down, and when using a walker, this becomes difficult.

Also, the pool deck lacks shading. There is no shade up there at all, unless you were lucky enough to get one of six units protecting you from the sun. These were generally gone by the time we came up on deck.

We will cruise in the Yacht Club again in the future, I recommend it highly, especially if you are physically challenged, and even if you’re not.
