The msc cruise updates 2021 is a blog post from MSC Cruises, which provides an update on the protocols for the winter season.

MSC Cruises has given an update on its procedures throughout all of its operating areas as the winter cruise season approaches. The cruise company, which already has several cruise ships operating from the United States and Europe, has worked with the appropriate authorities to guarantee the safety of passengers and crew.

Update on MSC Protocols

The cruise company intends to maintain its health and safety procedures throughout the winter season to ensure that everyone aboard is safe. MSC Cruises was one of the first cruise companies to begin operations after the epidemic, thus the procedures were initially implemented in August 2020.

As a result, most departures throughout the Winter season are restricted to fully vaccinated visitors. MSC, on the other hand, exclusively accepts non-vaccinated passengers from Schengen nations on Mediterranean cruises. Depending on where the ships are leaving from, there are additional more particular criteria.

Another important element of the procedures is ensuring that passengers have the appropriate cruise insurance that includes COVID coverage. The insurance acts as a safety net in the event that anything goes wrong, not only in general but especially in relation to COVID.

Here are the specifics for each of MSC’s operating areas. The Winter season measures for South America and South Africa will be announced shortly.
