MSC protocols

MSC Cruises has confirmed its 2021/22 winter health & safety protocols, with the cruise line to require guests to provide relevant documentation at embarkation in line with travel requirements.

Substantiation may include a negative test result, proof of vaccination and COVID insurance documentation.

Where proof of vaccination is required, this will apply to guests aged 12 years and above with a complete set of shots received more than 14 days before the start of the cruise.

MSC will also require a COVID insurance policy as a mandatory requirement for all guests.

The insurance must cover against COVID-19 related risks, ie cancellation, interruption, repatriation expenses, quarantine, medical assistance and hospitalisation, including in the case of being a close contact.

Guests who are fully vaccinated will be able to go ashore independently according to the specific country requirements.
