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

• 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: 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.

• 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.

Tender Service: In some ports, due to operational needs, the ship is anchored, therefore guests will disembark from the ship using a complementary tender service that runs from ship to shore for the entire duration of the ship’s stay in port.

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.

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

Guests with food intolerances and/or allergies are asked to inform MSC Cruises of their requirements through the Special Needs Form, and, once on board, to confirm their needs at the Reception – Guest Service and/or with the Maître d’Hôtel. If informed in advance, on-board staff will be happy to assist guests in choosing dishes that do not contain foods or ingredients that could cause an allergic reaction.

MSC Cruises has obtained a certification from Bureau Veritas to provide gluten-free menus worldwide (food code: < 20 ppm*) in the main restaurants of MSC Seaside, MSC Seaview, MSC Meraviglia, MSC Preziosa, MSC Divina, MSC Splendida, MSC Fantasia, MSC Magnifica, MSC Poesia, MSC Orchestra and MSC Musica. All gluten-free recipes are prepared by skilled personnel in dedicated kitchens on board, using products stored in special areas in accordance with the "Cruises Project" of the Associazione Italiana Celiachia (Italian Coeliac Association) with which MSC works closely for the above ships, cruising in the Mediterranean and in Northern Europe. On MSC Armonia, MSC Sinfonia, MSC Opera and MSC Lirica guests can find only pre-packaged gluten-free snacks such as, biscuits, croissants, sponge cakes and muffins.

Once MSC Grandiosa and MSC Bellissima are launched, we will complete the certification process with Bureau Veritas that will allow us to offer gluten-free menus on these ships as well. The process is expected to be completed within 1 month after the launch of the ships, so please check availability of gluten-free menus at time of booking.

For any other requirements not expressly mentioned in this section, please get in touch with your travel agent.

*MSC gluten free menus are suitable for gluten intolerance, but not in case of gluten allergy.

Vi ønsker at sikre, at du altid er forberedt, når du sejler med MSC. Nedenfor finder du nogle anbefalinger, der hjælper dig med at pakke passende tøj til de forskellige aktiviteter, du vil deltage i under dit krydstogt.

Dagsbeklædning

Til dagsbrug anbefales afslappet påklædning. Shorts og T-shirts er tilladt.

Aftenbeklædning

Til aften anbefales et mere raffineret udtryk, især når du spiser i hovedrestauranterne, specialrestauranterne eller nyder underholdningen i teatret, barerne og loungerne. Skjorter med krave, skræddersyede bukser eller shorts, nederdele og kjoler er passende. Det er en god idé at klæde sig i lag og medbringe en let jakke eller trøje til kølige aftener og skibets airconditionerede fællesområder.

Galanat

På galanatten skal du klæde dig for at imponere! Om det betyder smoking, jakkesæt og slips, aftenkjole eller cocktailkjole, eller måske dine allerbedste jeans og en polo, så bør dit outfit afspejle din egen elegance. Det eneste, der kræves, er dit smil.

Temafester

Vi arrangerer forskellige temafester både om dagen og om aftenen ombord. Du kan med fordel medbringe farverigt og festligt tøj til Sunshine Party og noget hvidt til White Party.

Sportsentusiaster

For sportselskere er træningssko og joggingtøj uundværligt, når du benytter vores moderne fitnesscenter eller deltager i yoga- og dansekurser, hvor det tilbydes.

Krydstogter i Nordeuropa

Til krydstogter mod Svalbard og polare områder anbefales det at medbringe passende polartøj.

Udflugter på land

Til udflugter på land, som kan inkludere besøg ved religiøse steder, anbefaler vi, at du bærer passende tøj, der dækker knæ og skuldre.

Påklædningsrestriktioner

Specifikke restriktioner kan blive håndhævet af personalet ombord, herunder restaurantværter og ledelse. Svømmetøj er aldrig tilladt i formelle spisesteder til nogen måltider, inklusive morgenmad og frokost. Shorts, klipklappere og ærmeløse toppe er ikke tilladt til aftenbrug eller galanatten i hovedrestauranterne, specialrestauranterne eller MSC Yacht Club. T-shirts må ikke bæres på galanatten. De gældende dresscode-regler, som er opslået uden for buffeten, skal følges.

Alle MSC's krydstogtskibe er udstyret med 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 at ringe til det medicinske nødnummer. Uden for 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 peritonealdialysebehandling, 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 om bord. Dette er for både moderens og fosterets sikkerhed, da specialiseret obstetrisk og neonatal pleje ikke er tilgængelig om bord.

Gravide gæster, der vil være 23 uger eller mindre på noget tidspunkt 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

Breve skal sendes via e-mail til Special Needs på bookingtidspunktet og mindst 2 uger før afrejsedato. En kopi skal fremvises ved indtjekning på ombordstigningsdagen.

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.

Alle elsker følelsen af nyvasket tøj og bekvemmeligheden ved en vaskeservice med samme dags levering. Forlæng afslapningen efter en vidunderlig lang ferie ved at vende hjem med dine skjorter og bukser vasket, tørret og klar til at blive lagt væk. Derfor tilbyder vi flere forskellige vaskeservicepakker, som du kan vælge imellem.

Nyd en problemfri vaskeservice – mod et beskedent enkelt gebyr kan du og alle rejsende i din kahyt benytte servicen, når I ønsker det, for op til 40 genstande pr. kahyt pr. krydstogt. Dine ting bliver afhentet inden kl. 12:00 og leveret tilbage inden for 48 timer. Vaskeservice er ikke tilgængelig på krydstogtets sidste dag.

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.
