MSC Cruises has produced a video to showcase new health and safety protocols introduced for its return to cruising.
The video was recorded on MSC Grandiosa, which is currently operating seven-night cruises with embarkations in the Italian ports of Genoa, Civitavecchia, Naples and Palermo, plus a calling at Valletta, Malta.
Due to Foreign Office advice against ocean cruising, British and Irish passengers are currently unable to join the sailings. However the line said it was working closely with Clia to ensure protocols would be aligned when the guidance is lifted.
The planned return of MSC Magnifica has been delayed, with the ship now due to return to service from the October 19, operating 10-night cruises from Genoa and calling in Livorno for Florence and Pisa, Messina in Sicily, Valletta in Malta, Piraeus for Athens, Katakolon for Olympia in Greece and Civitavecchia for Rome.
