MSC Seascape, the new flagship of MSC Cruises, arrived today in New York City for the glamorous christening ceremony at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal on December 7th. This is the first time MSC Cruises has christened a ship in New York City. This is a sign of the growing importance of the US market for the Swiss shipping company. In April 2023, New York will be the new home port for cruises to/from New York. MSC now offers an even wider choice of North American ports of embarkation and itineraries for guests from North America and the rest of the world.
