MSC Cruises just received delivery of its latest ship-the highly anticipated MSC Seaside-from the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy, and I was there to witness and capture it in 4K Ultra HD video.

The ship is now on its way to Miami, Florida where it will be christened by Sophia Loren on December 21, 2017, and I will again be in attendance. Shortly afterward, I'll present one of my signature Popular Cruising YouTube channel video reviews of the ship, but until then the footage already includes a bit of a preview of some of its visually stunning venues.

Among the sampler are a taste of the Venchi Coccogelateria & Coffee Bar and its genuine chocolate-fall tempting guests with its super sweet wall behind the counter.

Some things unique just to this first video are the fireworks celebration that took place in Trieste, Italy and the appearance by the president of the Italian Republic. Enjoy!
