MSC Seashore Enters Drydock at Grand Bahama Yard

The MSC Seashore has begun a scheduled drydock at the Grand Bahama Shipyard in Freeport, Bahamas.

The vessel paused its regular sailings from Port Canaveral in late March before arriving at the shipyard on April 1, 2026. During this period, the 4,560-guest ship will undergo routine maintenance along with additional technical work.

Having entered service in 2021, the Seashore is also completing class-related work as part of its first statutory drydock. Following the completion of the project, the ship is set to resume operations on April 19, 2026, with a seven-night cruise. This itinerary will include calls at Cozumel and Costa Maya in Mexico, as well as Nassau and Ocean Cay in the Bahamas.

The MSC Seashore currently operates year-round from Port Canaveral, offering three- to seven-night itineraries across the Caribbean and the Bahamas. These cruises regularly feature visits to Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the company’s private island destination near Bimini.

Looking ahead, the vessel is scheduled to relocate to South Florida in November 2027, where it will offer six- to nine-night sailings from PortMiami.

Alongside the MSC Seashore, MSC Grandiosa is also sailing from Port Canaveral during the 2025–26 winter season while across the United States, five additional MSC ships are in operation. These include MSC World America, MSCSeaside, and MSC Divina, all sailing from Miami.

Meanwhile, the MSC Seascape, which began operating from Galveston in late 2025, continues to offer year-round itineraries from the Texas port. The MSCMeraviglia is currently completing its final season from New York, with sailings from the Manhattan Cruise Terminal scheduled through late April.

MSC Cruises is also preparing to expand into Seattle and Alaska. The MSCPoesia will launch a summer program in the region starting in early May, before repositioning to Miami for the 2026–27 winter season, where it will offer ten- and 11-night Caribbean cruises.
