MSC Cruises launches ‘Cruise with Confidence’ summer campaign
MSC Cruises launched its summer 2022 campaign under the ‘Cruise with Confidence’ program touting its health and safety protocol, as well as flexible booking policy.
The return of independent shore exploration applies to all sailings through summer 2022.
All existing and new bookings for all sailings through to the end of the next summer season are covered by the Cruise with Confidence promise.
Gianni Onorato, CEO, MSC Cruises, said, "We were able to lead the restart of our industry in August last year thanks to a comprehensive and flexible health and safety protocol that was designed to adapt to the evolution of the pandemic ashore."
"With the pandemic continuing to evolve, we understand the importance of having clear information to reassure our guests that they can book a cruise with confidence and with flexibility. "
All guests aged 12 years and above are required to be fully vaccinated, on top of this, all guests aged two and above are required to submit a negative test prior to boarding.
All ship crew are also fully vaccinated and regularly tested.
Next summer, guests are free to disembark and independently explore ports of call wherever local regulations allow it.
In addition to these, MSC says it continues to monitor and adapt.
Safety protocols were developed by the Blue Ribbon Covid Expert Group which is made up of highly qualified experts who together helped inform MSC Cruises’ operating protocol to protect the health and safety of guests, while maintaining the Company’s guest experience.
Since its original inception, the panel has been reinforced with the addition of Dr. Robert R. Redfield, who most recently served as Director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from 2018 to 2021.
