Please review the details below regarding different accessibility needs. This will help you to determine whether the accommodation we are able to provide is right for you and your party to travel safely and comfortably. Any accessibility or medical request can be flagged by completing the Accessibility&Medical Request Form available HERE and at all accredited travel agencies. This information should be provided at time of booking but no later than 30 days prior to sailing

• If you are pregnant, the information should be provided at least 2 weeks before sailing date
• For service dogs this is required at least 60 days before the sailing date.
• Note that due to the complexity of the Worldcruise itinerary, early deadlines apply.

This allows us time to provide the best possible service for our guests, which is determined by the facilities and resources on board each ship. If we do not receive timely notification, MSC Cruises cannot guarantee the requested accommodation. However, we will always strive to ensure every guest receives the accommodation they need to enjoy their time onboard. Due to the limited availability of accessible accommodation, guests are recommended to notify us as soon as possible as they will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

if you booked through our website, the documentation should be sent to the following email address: [email protected]. However, If you booked your cruise through a travel agency, the documentation should be sent directly to your travel agent.

REDUCED MOBILITY

For guests who primarily use a wheelchair or mobility scooter, we highly recommend reserving a cabin for guests with disabilities or reduced mobility. These cabins are specifically designed with enhanced accessible features, including handrails for support, ramps for easy balcony access, lower shelves for convenient storage, spacious wet-room-style bathrooms, and wider entrance doors for smoother navigation. These thoughtful features are incorporated to cater to the unique needs of individuals with reduced mobility, promoting a more comfortable and independent experience.

While standard cabins may be suitable for guests with minor mobility impairments or those who do not require a wheelchair to move around the cabin, they are not suitable for guests who rely on a wheelchair as their primary means of mobility. Since availability of reduced mobility cabin is limited, and requests will be accommodated in a first come, first served basis, it is important to request it as soon as possible and consider also the possibility of considering eventually a different sailing date. If you choose to book a standard cabin, you are acknowledging that you can stand for brief moments and take a step without a mobility device and can access the bathroom area without additional supports (a shower stool can be requested, if needed). If you use a wheelchair or scooter, it’s essential to verify that your wheelchair meets our size restrictions.

The wheelchair should not exceed 50cm (20 inches) in width, have a weight limit of 45kgs (99 pounds), and, when folded, should not exceed 50cm (20 inches). These limitations are in place to ensure safe maneuverability and storage within the cabin space. For safety and convenience, wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and other assistive mobility devices must be stored inside your cabin when not in use. They cannot be stored in the hallways. Please take this into consideration when booking a regular cabin.

This policy aligns with International Safety Regulations and helps maintain clear and safe passageways throughout the ship.

Given the strict International Safety Regulations governing cruise ships and the limited capacity for carrying assistive mobility devices, it is imperative that you declare any wheelchairs or scooters you intend to bring onboard at the time of booking or as soon as you become aware of the need to bring them. This advance notice enables us to assess space availability and make the necessary arrangements to accommodate your device. Failure to provide this information at the time of booking may, regrettably, result in your device being denied boarding, a situation we are committed to helping you avoid.

To further support guests with reduced mobility, MSC Cruises offers a range of services:

• Mobility Aids: Guests are welcome to bring manual or electric wheelchairs or scooters, as well as other mobility aids such as canes, rollators, walkers, and crutches, which need to be stored inside the cabin. Please be reminded to communicate it during your cruise reservation through the Accessibility&Medical Request Form. If you plan to bring an electric wheelchair or scooter, please specify the type of battery it uses (gel, dry, or lithium). For safety reasons, wet batteries are not permitted on board MSC ships.

Please confirm the dimensions of the specific vessel on which you will be sailing to ensure your mobility device comfortably navigates through the cabin door.

Wheelchairs are available on board our ships, for the use of guests during embarkation and disembarkation only, or in case of emergency. Guests that require constant use of a wheelchair or any other form of support must bring their own equipment with them. It is the responsibility of the guest to check with the relevant producers/suppliers that this equipment is safe to take onboard and use on a cruise ship, and to organise both its delivery to the departure terminal in good time for embarkation, and its collection at the end of the cruise.

• Cabin Amenities: Upon request, we can provide a shower stool in standard cabins to enhance comfort and safety.
• Shore Excursions: MSC Cruises offers "Easy & Accessible" tours specifically designed for guests with reduced mobility. We recommend inquiring about the availability of these tours at the time of booking, as they may vary depending on the destination.
• Embarkation and Disembarkation Assistance: Please be informed that outside the cruise terminal assistance is not guaranteed. However, assistance is available from the ship to the pier and vice versa at ports of call, but once ashore MSC will no longer be able to provide assistance, and guests will need to be able to enjoy their visit autonomously.
• Airport and Flight Assistance: If you have booked your flights through MSC Cruises, you are requested to notify us at the time of the booking about any accessibility needs.
• Accessible transfers: Should you need to purchase a transfer from the airport to the cruise terminal and vice versa, please ensure you request an accessible transfer via your travel agents or our MSC Cruises Contact Centre.

If the cruise itinerary includes ports where tender boats are used for shore access, please be aware that guests must be sufficiently fit and mobile to embark and disembark from the tender without assistance. This means that guests must take into consideration the use of steps, the possibility of gaps, height difference between the platform and the tender, the potential sudden movement of the tender, the dimensions and weight of the mobility device. Please be informed that crew members are not permitted to carry wheelchairs or mobility scooters into the tender. In case of any doubt about the itinerary, please feel free to reach out to our MSC Contact Center.

To inform us of your reduced mobility need, please fill in the form at the following link Accessibility&Medical Request Form

VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS

Guests with visual impairments will find braille signs available at the entrance of the cabin door and safety instructions available in braille (on top of an English audible version). Moreover, majority of the onboard elevators' signs are in braille with the addition of the audio call signal on ships of last generation.

For guests with partial visual impairment, the digital daily programs and menus can be available in large print versions, upon request.

Service dogs are welcomed onboard our ships. Please refer to the dedicated session in chapter 1.8.

While our onboard staff is committed to providing excellent service, it's important to note that they are not specifically trained to provide daily care or assistance with personal tasks such as eating, dressing, or personal hygiene, nor can offer a 24/7 guiding service. Upon embarkation day, an orientation tour of the ship can be offered upon request together with a meeting with our staff to provide a general overview of the ship’s program and entertainment activities.

The more information is provided, the more we will be able to provide accommodation for your needs. For example, knowing the degree of visual impairment and the level of autonomy will help us to understand the level of assistance you may require and allow us to provide appropriate support.

To inform us of your visual impairment, please fill in the form at the following link Accessibility&Medical Request Form

HEARING & SPEECH IMPAIRMENTS

In accordance with International Safety Regulations (SOLAS), guests with hearing disabilities will automatically have a TDD/TTY System kit installed in their cabin. This kit typically includes light and vibrating devices installed under the mattress of the bed, a text phone to communicate with Reception-Guest Service, and an analog alarm clock to ensure you can receive important alerts and communicate effectively. As these kits are available in limited numbers on each ship, they will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.

For minor hearing impairments, a sound amplifier is available at the main Reception-Guest Service to increase the quality of communication with our staff.

Guests can also join a cruise with a sign language interpreter to further enhance communication access. A meeting with the onboard staff on embarkation day can be requested to have a general overview of the program of the ship and entertainments activities.

To inform us of your request for your visual impairment, please fill in the form at the following link Accessibility&Medical Request Form

RESPIRATORY NEEDS

CPAP / BIPAP - If you use a CPAP or BIPAP machine, kindly ensure that your device is compatible with the ship's power supply, which is 120V/60Hz or 240V/60Hz. Outlets in guest cabins accommodate both U.S.-style and Northern European-style plugs. We recommend carrying your electrical devices onboard as hand luggage to prevent any damage during transit. Complimentary distilled water and extension cords are available onboard; however, a charge will apply if the extension cord is not returned. For safety reasons, guests are not permitted to bring their own extension cords onboard. If you require any extension cords, please request them at the time of booking.

Oxygen - Please be aware that the onboard medical centre has a limited oxygen supply, primarily intended for use by patients within the medical facility. Therefore, if you require long-term oxygen therapy, it is your responsibility to make arrangements for your regular oxygen needs while onboard.

If you require oxygen, please note the following:

• Oxygen Concentrators: Like any other electrical device, oxygen concentrators must be compatible with the onboard power supply. Battery backup is recommended, and concentrators should be carried as hand luggage.
• Compressed Gas Cylinders: Arrangements for oxygen cylinder supply must be made through a vendor. The maximum permitted size is E or M-24 size (680 L at 2,200 psi). For safety reasons, only one cylinder is allowed in the cabin at any time, although additional secure storage may be available upon request. Secure cylinder storage is limited and should be requested well in advance of your sailing date. You are responsible for ensuring that your supply has been delivered and safely stowed before sailing. Please be aware that oxygen cylinders may be restricted on flights, so it is your responsibility to consult with the airline prior to travel.
• Liquid Gas Reservoir: Liquid oxygen reservoirs with a maximum weight of 55kg may be permitted if suitable safe storage is available onboard. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Safety Department. Requests should be made at the time of booking or as soon as possible. You are responsible for filling portable cylinders, as the ship's crew is not trained to do this.

Mechanical ventilation

For guests who require mechanical ventilation, it is essential to provide detailed information at the time of booking or at least 30 days before sailing. This information should include details about the ventilator type, spare battery capacity, and the caregivers who are able to operate the equipment. We do not recommend traveling on remote itineraries, including ocean crossings, specific regions such as Antarctica or Africa, itineraries with multiple consecutive sea days, or in remote locations where resources are limited in case of device failure.

To inform us of your respiratory need, please fill in the form at the following link Accessibility&Medical Request Form

COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT

To better anticipate the needs of our guests with cognitive, behavioural or mental health conditions, we recommend consulting with your doctor before your cruise and consider traveling with a companion for support in case of need as our staff cannot provide daily personal assistance.

• Our medical team handles emergencies, not daily care. Depending on local regulations, you might need a fitness-to-travel certificate.
• Be aware that the cruise environment has noise, crowds, and bright lights. Please take this into consideration together with the size of the ship in terms of guest capacity when choosing your cruise.

Please be also advised that children with autism are welcome in our Mini Club provided they are toilet-trained and independent, as our youth staff who are fully trained in autism cannot assist with personal care.

To inform us of your cognitive condition, please fill in the form at the following link Accessibility&Medical Request Form

It is advisable to layer clothing and bring a light jacket or jumper for cooler nights and the ship's air-conditioned public areas.

Gala Night - On Gala Night, dress to impress! Whether that means a tuxedo, suit and tie, an evening gown or cocktail dress, or perhaps it's your very best jeans and polo shirt, your attire should fit your own level of elegance. The only thing required is your smile.

Theme parties - We organise various daytime and evening theme parties on board. You may wish to bring bright, fun clothes for the Sunshine Party and something white for the White Party.

• By day: Feel at ease in casual wear, including t-shirts and tops, but to maintain a respectful atmosphere, swimwear must be avoided at any time.
• By night: We kindly ask that you dress in smart casual attire. This includes options such as dresses, skirts, long pants, jeans, and button-down tops. However, please avoid shorts and flip flops.

T-shirts are not allowed to be worn on Gala Night. Dress code rules that are posted outside the buffet should be followed.

Virksomheden benytter seks hovedsprog til sin kommunikation: engelsk, italiensk, tysk, fransk, spansk og brasiliansk portugisisk. Rækkefølgen, hvori disse sprog optræder, bestemmes udelukkende af antallet af gæster i hver sproggruppe som en andel af vores samlede gæster. Kabineinformationshæftet og andet trykt materiale om bord findes i forskellige versioner for hvert af de seks nævnte sprog. Rækkefølgen af sprog i vores menuer varierer alt efter, hvilket område af verden hvert skib befinder sig i.

Veluddannede og certificerede førerhunde er tilladt om bord på alle skibe, forudsat at de er i god helbredstilstand og har alle nødvendige dokumenter til indrejse i de udenlandske lande, der besøges under krydstogtet.

Gæsten vil blive informeret på forhånd om de faciliteter, der er til rådighed for dyret, eventuelle særlige indkvarteringsmuligheder samt procedurerne for ombordstigning og afstigning.

Gæsten er personligt ansvarlig (med bistand fra plejeren, hvis relevant) for dyrets tilsyn, fodring og generelle pleje gennem hele opholdet om bord.

Når man er til søs, er det ikke muligt at få adgang til internettet via en højhastigheds bredbåndsforbindelse, som man ville gøre på land. I stedet leveres internetforbindelsen om bord via forbindelser mellem skibet og kommunikationssatellitter i kredsløb langt over Jorden.

Satellit-internetadgang er tilgængelig i alle skibets offentlige områder og i de fleste kahytter, herunder alle MSC Yacht Club-suiter. Alt, hvad du behøver, er en af vores satellit-internetpakker og en mobil internetenhed (smartphone, tablet, bærbar computer osv.).

Med Browse & Stream-pakken er det muligt at foretage videoopkald samt streame musik og videoer. Disse funktioner er ikke tilgængelige med Browse-pakken.

Overbelastning kan gøre internetadgangen langsommere, ligesom det kan ske på land.

Det er derfor bedst at undgå disse perioder, hvis det er muligt.

Pakkerne kan købes enten per dag eller for hele krydstogtets varighed. "Per krydstogt"-prisen baseres på krydstogtets længde. For at se priser for et specifikt krydstogt, besøg venligst "Wifi"-sektionen på hjemmesiden eller konsulter skibets netværk, mens du er om bord.

Du kan opgradere din pakke om bord via MSC Captive Portal (hjemmesiden, der bruges til at aktivere den forudbetalte pakke). Du kan opgradere til en Browse-pakke med flere enheder eller til Browse & Stream-pakken. Du betaler kun forskellen mellem de fulde pakkepriser (for at bevare 20% rabatten).

At tilbyde internetadgang om bord via skibets satellitforbindelse kræver betydelige investeringer i banebrydende teknologi. De gebyrer, der opkræves for brug af satellit-internetadgangen, hjælper med at dække de betydelige omkostninger ved at levere denne service.

På skibe, der tilbyder en premium-service kaldet Satellite Internet Plus, er prisen højere. Skibe med denne service inkluderer MSC Seaside, MSC Seaview og MSC Splendida. Gæster vil opleve hurtigere hastighed og en bedre forbindelse på disse skibe.

Når en bruger er logget på, kan opdateringer og apps, der kører i baggrunden, øge trafikken, selv når brugeren ikke aktivt benytter internettet. For at reducere overbelastning og fremskynde internetadgangen for aktive brugere, vil systemet automatisk afbryde forbindelsen til hver bruger efter XX minutter.

For at undgå at blive afbrudt kan du vende tilbage til denne side, inden de XX minutter er gået, og nulstille nedtællingen.

Hvis du automatisk bliver logget ud af systemet, kan du genaktivere din forbindelse ved blot at klikke på START.

For vores gæsters sikkerhed, komfort og velbefindende er vores skibe udpeget som røgfrie, undtagen i visse udpegede rygeområder. Enhver form for rygning er strengt forbudt til enhver tid i kahytter, på kahytternes balkoner og andre steder om bord, der ikke specifikt er udpeget som rygeområde. Besiddelse eller brug af marihuana, inklusive medicinsk marihuana, er strengt forbudt om bord, på landudflugter og ved private destinationer. Overtrædelse af rygeforbuddet medfører et gebyr på €/US$250 for en grundig rengøring ud over de nedenfor beskrevne konsekvenser. Vi minder også gæsterne om, at det er strengt forbudt ifølge international sølov at kaste cigaretskod eller andre genstande over bord til søs, da det kan udgøre en brandfare. Gæster skal være mindst 18 år for at købe, besidde eller bruge tobak om bord.

ON BOARD MEDICAL CENTRE

Our onboard medical centres are available 24/7 for emergencies. In addition, we offer twice daily clinics for routine medical needs.

Our onboard medical facilities meet or exceed the standards for cruise ship medical centres adopted by CLIA and include some diagnostic and treatment abilities; however, the ship’s medical centers do not have the same resources as a land-based hospital. They are staffed by full-time registered doctors and nurses, including paramedics on some ships. Their primary role is to provide emergency medical care and short-term treatment, rather than long-term nursing care. Guests unable to manage their daily personal care activities (feeding, bathing, dressing and toileting etc.) should travel with a caregiver who can assist with these tasks.

Please be advised that the non-medical staff on board are not specifically trained to give daily care and are not able to assist guests with personal tasks or personal hygiene needs (eating, dressing, bathroom or bathing).

PREGNANCY

For the health and safety of both mother and unborn child, MSC Cruises cannot accommodate guests who will be more than 23 weeks and 6 days pregnant at any time during the cruise. If you are pregnant but will be less than 23 weeks and 6 days at any point during the cruise, you will need to provide a letter from your obstetrician/gynaecologist confirming your expected due date, that your pregnancy is low-risk, and that you are fit to travel without immediate access to specialised obstetric or neonatal care.

To inform us of your pregnancy, please fill in the form at the following link Accessibility&Medical Request Form

DIALYSIS

MSC Cruises does not provide individual haemodialysis.

However, guests who are stable and able to independently manage home peritoneal dialysis are welcome to sail.

Peritoneal Dialysis

Please be aware that there are risks associated with travelling on cruise ships while undergoing dialysis. Please review the Dialysis Risk form. It is crucial to discuss your risk with your nephrologist before choosing to cruise. Please notify MSC Cruises of your condition at the time of booking or at least 30 days before sailing. Guests on peritoneal dialysis are recommended not to travel on remote itineraries or those with multiple days at sea due to the lack of access to specialist care.

Guests who require peritoneal dialysis are responsible for supplying all equipment, medications and supplies necessary to self-perform dialysis. You are also responsible for ensuring these are safely on board on time prior to sailing.

To inform us of your special requirement for peritoneal dialysis, please fill in the form at the following link Accessibility&Medical Request Form

ENTERAL AND PARENTAL NUTRITION

PHARMACEUTICAL

Personal Medication: It is strongly recommended that you bring an ample supply of your personal medication, sufficient for the duration of the cruise and for a few days after the cruise ends. Please keep all your medication in its original labelled packaging. It's also advisable to carry a prescription record or a written list of your medications, including the drug name, dosage, and times taken. While the medical centre can assist in replacing some medications, MSC Cruises cannot guarantee that the exact medication or an equivalent will be available onboard.

Please note that cabin coolers are not refrigerators and are not suitable for storing refrigerated medications. If you need to refrigerate medication, we suggest bringing cool bags with ice packs or requesting cold storage medication in the medical centre.

Controlled substances - Be aware that restrictions may apply to guests travelling with certain prescribed controlled drugs, and it is your responsibility to ensure you comply with the regulations of the countries you will be visiting.

It remains the responsibility of the guest to familiarise themselves with the above instructions and check the validity of their medication list with their treating physician or pharmacist.

• Illegal narcotics / drugs including synthetic designer drugs / New Psychoactive Substances (NPS).

OTHER MEDICAL NEEDS

To ensure the best possible care during your cruise, MSC Cruises Special Needs team will require full details of certain medical conditions or requests to assess whether your needs can be accommodated on board (please see some examples below). If there are any doubts, please contact the Special Needs team directly.

If you or your travelling companion:

• Are undergoing chemotherapy or taking immunosuppressant medication.
• Please note that chemotherapy cannot be administered on board. Due to potential travel-related health risks, MSC strongly advises guests on immunosuppressant medication to consult their specialist and obtain clearance to cruise prior to boarding.
• Have other complex medical needs requiring advanced care (for example, quadriplegic patients, those with significant incapacitation/loss of function, or those requiring round-the-clock care).
• Require specific medical interventions (such as laboratory tests, administration of injectable medication, wound dressings, etc.).

Everyone loves the feel of freshly-laundered clothes and the convenience of a same-day laundry service.

Your items will be collected before 12:00pm and returned within 48 hours. Laundry service is not available the last day of the cruise. 

The Minors Policy protects the safety and well-being of all passengers on board. ‘Minor’ refers to any person under the age of 18 (on cruises that do not include a port in the USA) or 21 (on voyages that do include a port in the USA). We have recently updated our Minors Policy, effective May 15th, 2025.

Infants under Two years old

Starting from 15 May 2025, infants under 2 years old are admitted on board, except on cruises starting from 11 nights onwards, for which it is required that the minor is at least 2 years old at the moment of embarkation.

What if I have booked two seven-night cruises? Does the age requirement for infants under two apply? The age requirement does not apply in case the 11 nights (or longer) cruise is the combination of two or more cruises, where the ship returns to its Home Port during the cruise

Children under 18 - 21 YEARS OLD

Are guests under 18 permitted to travel without adult supervision? MSC Cruises does not permit minors to occupy a cabin without the presence of at least one adult. For sailings within the US, guests aged 18-20 can be accommodated in a cabin alone, provided they are traveling with a guest aged 21 or older.

Who is considered an adult? To be considered an adult, passengers must be 18 or 21 years old at the time of embarkation, depending on the itinerary.

Is there an exception? Yes, an exception applies for minors under 18 traveling with one parent or legal guardian, provided the following conditions are met:

• The parent/legal guardian must specifically request at the time of booking that the minors be assigned a cabin without an adult and sign a liability waiver, which must be submitted to the Contact Centre.
• The parent/guardian is traveling with 2 to 5 minors.
• The cabin is occupied by either one minor aged 12 or older, or two minors, with the eldest at least 12 and the youngest at least 8.
• No more than two minors may occupy a cabin without an adult.

For MSC Lirica, Musica, and Fantasia class ships:

• Parent/guardian and minors must stay in connecting cabins, and the balcony of the minors' cabin will be locked.

For all other MSC ships:

• The parent or legal guardian and the minor(s) shall be accommodated in connecting cabins with the minor cabin’s balcony being locked or in interior adjacent cabins**.
• The parent or legal guardian shall be required to purchase a bracelet to have access to the cabin occupied by the minor(s) at any time during the cruise.

Can guests under 21 travel alone in the US? Travellers of all nationalities must be at least 21 to travel alone on cruises embarking in the US or travelling to the US. They must have turned 21 by the time they enter a U.S. port. Guests aged under 21 must travel accompanied by their parents or a legal guardian. Otherwise, a signed authorisation letter from the absent parent must be provided when booking, along with the name of a chaperon or a designated individual in charge of the minor

Can guests aged 18-20 stay in a cabin alone? Yes, guests aged 18-20 may stay in a cabin alone if they are traveling with someone aged 21 or older, without any additional requirements.

Will I be advised regarding their their bookings not compliant with the policy? Yes, MSC Cruises will contact guests with confirmed bookings. Guests be offered the following options:

• Free Cruise Move to sailings with ports outside the US.
• Free Cruise Move to another (later) available date (on available sailings at the time of the Cruise Move) if, for this new sailing, the guests will be 21.
• Or our Standard Cancellation Policy will apply.

What happens if a new booking does not comply with the policy for US guests under 21? The guest will be offered a Free Cruise Move with new pricing or the booking will be cancelled according to the standard cancellation policy.
