Travel agency WOW Viaggi reported that MSC Cruises will operate 45 departures of short Bahamas cruises aboard the MSC Seashore from Port Canaveral, Florida, running between November 5, 2026, and April 29, 2027.
Port Canaveral Schedule and Itinerary Options
Port Canaveral sits approximately 73 kilometers from Orlando International Airport, serving as a primary cruise hub for travelers visiting central Florida’s theme parks. The MSC Seashore divides its schedule into two distinct short-cruise formats during the 2026–2027 season, according to WOW Viaggi.
• Three-night voyages depart every Thursday, featuring stops in Nassau and the private island Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.
• Four-night voyages depart every Sunday, visiting Nassau and Ocean Cay—where the ship remains docked until midnight—followed by a sea day or, on selected dates, a second day at Ocean Cay.
Ship Specifications and Onboard Amenities
Built by Fincantieri in Monfalcone, Italy, and delivered in July 2021, the 169,500-gross-ton MSC Seashore spans 339 meters and accommodates up to 5,877 guests. WOW Viaggi noted that the vessel features six swimming pools, an aft infinity pool, 18 bars, four main dining rooms, and five specialty restaurants.
Accommodations include 11 tipologie di cabine e suite, 50 suite con terrazza privata, 32 suite con idromassaggio, and the MSC Yacht Club complex. Passengers can select among different experience tiers—Fantastica, Aurea, and the Yacht Club—which dictate location flexibility and spa access.
Travel Requirements and Pricing Structure
Travelers embarking from Port Canaveral must possess an electronic passport and an approved ESTA, as national identity cards do not suffice for entry into the United States. WOW Viaggi packages bundle port taxes, registration fees, service charges, and travel insurance directly into the base fare, while flights, ESTA fees, and shore excursions require separate arrangements.
