It’s every guest’s responsibility to comply with the MSC travel requirements and your country’s official travel requirements before departure. MSC Cruises has worked with the authorities in all of the regions and countries in which the ships operate to ensure its protocol meets and exceeds the required health and safety measures.

Guests recovered from Covid-19 with one shot of vaccine are considered fully vaccinated (They must provide a QR code or alternatively validating documentation)
