New MSC Cruises Boarding Rules.


MSC Cruises‘ new embarkation rules go into effect as of October 1, 2022.

For those embarking in the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Red Sea, Caribbean and Antilles, there will no longer be a requirement for Covid19 vaccination, although it is strongly recommended. In addition, guests who are fully vaccinated (two doses of vaccine or one dose of Johnson & Johnson) will no longer be required to submit a negative swab result, although it remains recommended. This requirement remains only for those who are not fully vaccinated, who have recovered from Covid19 without any vaccine dose, or who have a vaccine exemption due to medical conditions with QR code.

In the UAE or Qatar, for those 16 years and older, full vaccination from Covid19 remains mandatory. Here, too, the requirement for a swab within 48 hours of embarkation (except for those embarking from Doha), which is still strongly recommended, lapses, while it is only compulsorily required for those under 16 years of age who do not have a full vaccination certificate.

Finally, with regard to MSC World Cruise or for Grand Voyages, the requirement of the Covid 19 vaccine from 12 years and older and the antigenic or molecular test to be carried out in the 48 hours before embarkation (from 5 years and older) remains. We
are glad for this relaxation of embarkation rules and look forward to always moving in this direction, always in the total safety of passengers who choose MSC Cruises.
