MSC Seaside is a cruise ship currently under construction for MSC Cruises. The first of MSC's next-generation Seaside class vessels, it will be the largest cruise ship ever to be constructed by its builder, Fincantieri of Italy, and will feature a custom-designed multi-storey aqua park built by WhiteWater West of Canada.[1] The first steel cut took place on 22 June 2015 in Monfalcone. The keel was laid in Monfalcone on 4 March 2016.[2][3]
