Make the most of your upcoming MSC Cruises sailing aboard the MSC Seaside with high-quality, top-rated tours and experiences matched to your exact itinerary.
After departing Naples on 11 Oct 2025, MSC Seaside will take you and your travel party to remarkable destinations - and FindMyExcursions is here to help you experience more in each port.
We've partnered with the world’s largest tour marketplaces, including Viator, to offer a curated selection of excursions that go beyond what’s available in your MSC Cruises planner. Our intelligent matching system analyses your port times and schedule to recommend only the best-rated, time-compatible experiences — so you can relax, explore, and get back to the ship with confidence.
From scenic adventures and cultural immersions to foodie tours and historical walks, each excursion is selected because it's highly-rated by previous users, and tailored to fit the time you actually have ashore. With convenient port pick-up and drop-off included in most experiences — and a “Worry-Free Shore Excursion” policy available on selected tours — you’ll enjoy a seamless, stress-free outing every time you step off the ship.
Best of all, our selection often includes more variety — and better value — than the limited options offered directly by your cruise line.

About Palermo
Once the intellectual capital of southern Europe, Palermo sits on a crescent-shaped bay beneath Monte Pellegrino, a city shaped by centuries of Mediterranean cultures. It has welcomed Arabs, Christians, Byzantines, Romans, Normans, and Italians, blending their influences into a unique Arab-Norman identity enriched by Byzantine and Jewish elements. This fusion has created some of Sicily’s most stunning art and architecture, seen in majestic palaces, churches, and monuments. Beyond its history, Palermo pulses with vibrant energy—its bustling outdoor markets, lively public squares, and colourful street bazaars showcase the city’s lively spirit. Food vendors offer delicious local treats, while the city’s famous passeggiata, a traditional evening stroll along the main street, provides the perfect way to soak up Palermo’s atmosphere. For cruise visitors, Palermo offers a fascinating blend of culture, history, and everyday Sicilian life all within easy reach of the port.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the ‘Worry-Free Shore Excursion’ on some of the excursions?
Viator’s Worry-Free Shore Excursion policy means that if your tour runs late and you miss your ship, they’ll arrange transport to the next port at no additional cost to you. This offer applies only to shore excursions specifically marked with the ‘Worry-Free’ badge on Viator. When you use FindMyExcursions, we help match you with these eligible tours where available, so you can book with confidence knowing you're covered if unexpected delays occur.

What are the risks of booking with third-party providers?
When you book excursions independently (i.e., outside of the cruise line), you’re responsible for managing your time ashore. If you miss the ship’s departure, the cruise will not wait, and you’ll have to make your own way to the next port.
That’s why FindMyExcursions only features tours that fit within your port timings, with enough buffer to get you back in good time. Many also offer port pick-up/drop-off for added convenience and peace of mind. You get all the flexibility of third-party booking, with smart, cruise-specific filtering built in.
Will I get a refund if the ship doesn’t dock or our itinerary changes?
If your ship is unable to dock or your itinerary changes at short notice, most tour providers on Viator offer a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. However, cancellations within 24 hours usually aren't refundable. We recommend checking each tour’s cancellation policy before booking, as they can vary. Also, having comprehensive cruise travel insurance is key. Some policies may cover missed ports or excursions, but this usually depends on the circumstances and how much notice the cruise line provided. We’re not qualified to offer legal or financial advice so always check the fine print of your policy or speak to your insurer for specifics.
