En raffineret stil, dyrebare materialer og sans for detaljer gør MSC Opera til et krydstogtskib, der virkelig er noget at synge om! Hun er bygget i mere klassiske linjer end sine søstre i Musica- og Fantasia-klasserne, hvilket skaber en særlig atmosfære om bord og samtidig giver dig mulighed for at besøge destinationer, der er utilgængelige for større skibe.

MSC Cruises og miljøet
Vi værner om det miljø, vi opererer i, de gæster, der sejler med os, og de mennesker, der arbejder sammen med os. Vores engagement strækker sig også til vores aktiviteter på land. Protectours er ikke blot en måde at tilbyde vores gæster et udvalg af udflugter med mindre påvirkning, men også et middel til at opmuntre vores partnere på land til at udvikle ture med fokus på at beskytte miljøet.

Accessibility & Medical
ACCESSIBILITY
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
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: specialservicesuk@msccruises.co.uk. 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 manoeuvrability 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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
Special Dietary Requirements
Dress Code
We want to make sure you are always prepared when cruising with MSC. Below are some suggestions to make sure you pack appropriate clothing for the various activities you will undertake during your cruise.
Daytime Attire
Casual wear is recommended for daytime attire. Shorts and T-shirts are permitted.
Evening Wear
A more polished look is recommended for evening wear when dining in the main dining rooms, speciality restaurants and while enjoying the entertainment in the theatre, bars, and lounges. Collared shirts, tailored trousers or shorts, skirts, and dresses are suggested. 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.
Sports lovers
For sports lovers, gym shoes and tracksuits are must-haves when using our cutting-edge gym and attending yoga and dance courses, where available.
Northern Europe cruises
For cruises sailing towards the Svalbard Islands and Polar areas, please ensure you have adequate polar clothing.
Shore Excursions
For shore excursions, which may include visits to religious sites, we advise that appropriate clothing should be worn (covered knees and shoulders).
Dress Restrictions
Specific restrictions may be enforced by onboard staff members, including restaurant hostesses and management. At no point is swimwear allowed in any formal dining venue for any meal, including breakfast and lunch. Shorts, flip-flops, and tank tops are not allowed for evening wear or Gala Night in the main dining rooms, speciality restaurants, or MSC Yacht Club. T-shirts are not allowed to be worn on Gala Night. Dress code rules that are posted outside the buffet should be followed.
Medical Facilities
Alle MSC's krydstogtskibe har et veludstyret Medicinsk Center, overvåget af en skibslæge og andet medicinsk personale. Det Medicinske Center er åbent på de tidspunkter, der er angivet i skibets Daglige Program. Akutberedskab er tilgængeligt døgnet rundt ved opkald til det medicinske nødnummer. Udover nødsituationer er medicinske ydelser mod betaling, og priserne kan oplyses om bord. Gæster, der pådrager sig medicinske udgifter under krydstogtet, kan anmode deres forsikringsselskab om refusion, når de er i land.
Dialyse
Gæster, der gennemgår peritonealdialyse, kan rejse som normalt og medbringe alle nødvendige medicin og udstyr til brug under krydstogtet. Den relevante medicinske behandling er tilgængelig via de medicinske faciliteter om bord.
Udstyr og maskiner til hæmodialysebehandling medbringes kun om bord af specialiserede, uafhængige selskaber på visse ruter. For yderligere information om denne service bedes du kontakte din rejseagent.
Graviditet
MSC Cruises SA tillader ikke gæster, der er mere end 23 uger gravide på noget tidspunkt under krydstogtet, at sejle med om bord. Dette er for moderens og fosterets sikkerhed, da specialiseret obstetrisk og neonatal pleje ikke er tilgængelig om bord.
Gravide gæster, der vil være 23 uger eller mindre under krydstogtet, skal indsende et brev fra deres fødselslæge/gynækolog, der bekræfter følgende:
Ultralydsbekræftet forventet fødselsdato (EDD)
At graviditeten er lavrisiko
At gæsten er egnet til at sejle om bord på et skib uden umiddelbar adgang til specialiseret obstetrisk eller neonatal pleje
Brevene skal sendes pr. e-mail til Special Needs på bookingtidspunktet og senest 2 uger før afrejsedato. En kopi skal fremvises ved check-in på ombordstigningsdagen.
Smoking Policy
Når man befinder sig til søs, er det ikke muligt at få adgang til internettet via en højhastighedsforbindelse, som man kender det på land. I stedet leveres internetforbindelsen om bord via satellitforbindelser mellem skibet og kommunikationssatellitter i kredsløb langt over Jorden.
Satellit-internetadgang er tilgængelig i alle offentlige områder på skibet og i de fleste kahytter, inklusive alle MSC Yacht Club-suiter. Alt, hvad du behøver, er et af vores satellit-internetpakker og en mobil internetenhed (smartphone, tablet, bærbar computer osv.).
Med Browse & Stream-pakken kan du foretage videoopkald samt streame musik og videoer. Disse funktioner er ikke tilgængelige med Browse-pakken.
Netværkstrafik kan medføre langsommere internetadgang, præcis som det kan opleves på land.
Det anbefales derfor at undgå disse perioder, hvis det er muligt.
Pakkerne kan købes enten per dag eller for hele krydstogtets varighed. "Per cruise"-prisen afhænger af krydstogtets længde. For at se priser for et specifikt krydstogt, besøg venligst "Wifi"-sektionen på hjemmesiden eller tjek skibets netværk om bord.
Du kan opgradere din pakke om bord via MSC Captive Portal (den hjemmeside, 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 pakkernes fulde pris (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, bidrager til at dække de omfattende omkostninger ved at levere denne service.
På skibe, der tilbyder den eksklusive service Satellite Internet Plus, er prisen højere. Skibe med denne service inkluderer MSC Seaside, MSC Seaview og MSC Splendida. Her vil gæsterne opleve hurtigere hastigheder og en mere stabil forbindelse.
Når en bruger er logget på, kan opdateringer og apps, der kører i baggrunden, øge datatrafikken, selv når brugeren ikke aktivt anvender internettet. For at reducere overbelastning og sikre hurtigere adgang for aktive brugere, vil systemet automatisk logge hver bruger af 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.
