SHORE EXCURSIONS:

• If you wish to go ashore during your cruise, it is highly recommended to participate in an MSC shore excursion to ensure the same high standards of health and safety ashore as on board. Not all destinations allow independent disembarkation and it may depend on the traveler’s vaccination status. Some excursions will require an official COVID-19 certificate to access some venues (I.e. museums, churches,..) or to participate any event. More information in the FAQ section.
