Dedicated page with information on COVID-19 (coronavirus) health and safety protocols
Our dedicated page should answer most of your questions.
For the most up-to-date and accurate information on COVID-19 requirements for MSC Cruises sailing from South Africa, we recommend you visit our MSC Cruises COVID-19 information page. This page has been designed to answer most of your health and safety questions.
On this page you will find information on the vaccines accepted by MSC Cruises, as requirements may vary depending on the cruise itinerary and current health guidelines. It also tells you the timeframe to get vaccinated before your cruise departure so your vaccination status meets the boarding requirements.
For families with children, the COVID-19 page explains the vaccination requirements for different age groups. This is important as policies are different for adults and minors and knowing this in advance will help you plan.
Also if RT-PCR testing is required, the page tells you the recommended timeframe to take the test before your cruise so your test results will be valid at the time of boarding.
Please note that COVID-19 protocols and requirements can change rapidly due to local regulations and global health situation. So we recommend to check this page even after you have booked to stay informed of any updates or changes that may affect your cruise.
If you have any other questions not on the page, get in touch with our customer service. We want to make sure you have everything you need to cruise safely from South Africa.
