CRUISE WITH CONFIDENCE
Health And Safety Protocols For Cruises Departing From U.S. Ports(Requirements are subject to destination regulations)
MSC Cruises’ top priority continues to be the health and safety of our guests, crew and the communities that our ships visit.
Our industry-leading health and safety protocols were first introduced in summer 2020 and demonstrated our unwavering commitment to the wellbeing of our guests and crew and have since set the standard in the travel industry.
The detailed knowledge we have gained from hosting over one million guests who have enjoyed a relaxing and – above all else – safe vacation at sea, has enabled us to evolve our health & safety protocols.
Our ability to rapidly adapt and evolve while continuing to offer the highest level of preventative health measures, makes cruising with MSC Cruises one of the safest vacation options.
