Kaikilla MSC:n risteilyaluksilla on hyvin varustettu lääkärikeskus, jota valvoo aluksen lääkäri yhdessä muun lääketieteellisen henkilökunnan kanssa. Lääkärikeskus on avoinna aluksen päivittäisessä ohjelmassa ilmoitettuina aikoina. Hätätilanteissa lääkäriin saa yhteyden vuorokauden ympäri soittamalla hätänumeroon. Muut kuin hätätilanteet lääkäripalvelut ovat maksullisia, ja hinnat ovat saatavilla aluksella. Vieraat, jotka joutuvat risteilyn aikana käyttämään lääkäripalveluja, voivat pyytää korvausta vakuutusyhtiöltään maissa maihin saavuttuaan.

Dialyysi

Vieraat, jotka käyvät peritoneaalidialyysissä, voivat matkustaa normaalisti ja tuoda mukanaan kaikki tarvittavat lääkkeet ja välineet risteilyn ajaksi. Tarvittava lääkinnällinen hoito on saatavilla aluksen lääketieteellisissä tiloissa.

Hemodialyysihoitoon tarvittavat laitteet ja koneet kuljetetaan alukselle vain erikoistuneiden itsenäisten yritysten toimesta tietyillä reiteillä. Lisätietoja tästä palvelusta saa matkatoimistostasi.

Raskaus

MSC Cruises SA ei salli yli 23 viikkoa raskaana olevien vieraiden osallistumista risteilylle millään sen ajanjaksolla. Tämä on äidin ja sikiön turvallisuuden vuoksi, sillä erikoistunut synnytys- ja vastasyntyneiden hoito ei ole saatavilla aluksella.

Vieraat, joiden raskaus on 23 viikkoa tai vähemmän milloin tahansa risteilyn aikana, tulee toimittaa synnytys- tai naistentautilääkäriltään kirje, jossa vahvistetaan seuraavat seikat:

Ultraäänitutkimuksella vahvistettu arvioitu laskettu aika (EDD)
Raskauden olevan matalan riskin
Vieraan olevan terveydentilaltaan sopiva matkustamaan aluksella, jolla ei ole välitöntä pääsyä erikoistuneeseen synnytys- tai vastasyntyneiden hoitoon

Kirjeet tulee lähettää sähköpostitse Special Needs -osastolle varauksen yhteydessä ja viimeistään kaksi viikkoa ennen risteilyn alkamista. Kopio on esitettävä lähtöselvityksessä laivaan noustessa.

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: [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 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.

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

MSC Cruises on saanut Bureau Veritakselta sertifikaatin tarjota gluteenittomia ruokalistoja maailmanlaajuisesti (ruokakoodi: 20 ppm) kaikilla aluksillaan. Saatavuus kannattaa varmistaa varauksen yhteydessä. Aluksilla MSC Armonia, MSC Sinfonia, MSC Opera ja MSC Lirica vieraat löytävät vain rajallisen valikoiman valmiiksi pakattuja gluteenittomia välipaloja, kuten keksejä, croissanteja, kakkupaloja ja muffineita. Ruoka-aineyliherkkyydestä tai allergioista kärsivien vieraiden tulee ilmoittaa erityistarpeistaan MSC Cruisesille erikoistarvelomakkeen kautta ja vahvistaa vaatimuksensa laivalla vastaanotossa tai Maître d’hôtelille.

Vieraidemme turvallisuuden, mukavuuden ja hyvinvoinnin takaamiseksi aluksemme ovat savuttomia, lukuun ottamatta tiettyjä erikseen osoitettuja tupakointialueita. Kaikki tupakoinnin muodot ovat ehdottomasti kiellettyjä hytissä, hyttien parvekkeilla sekä kaikilla muilla laivan alueilla, joita ei ole nimenomaisesti merkitty tupakointialueiksi. Marihuanan hallussapito tai käyttö, mukaan lukien lääkekäyttö, on ehdottomasti kiellettyä laivalla, maissa tehtävillä retkillä sekä yksityisissä kohteissa. Tupakointisääntöjen rikkomisesta seuraa 250 €/US$ syväpuhdistusmaksu sekä alla kuvattujen seuraamusten lisäksi. Lisäksi muistutamme vieraita, että tupakantumpin tai minkä tahansa muun esineen heittäminen yli laidan merellä on kansainvälisten merilakien mukaan ehdottomasti kiellettyä ja voi aiheuttaa tulipalovaaran. Tupakkatuotteiden ostamiseen, hallussapitoon tai käyttöön laivalla vaaditaan vähintään 18 vuoden ikä.

Merellä ollessa nopean laajakaistayhteyden käyttäminen, kuten maissa, ei ole mahdollista. Sen sijaan internet-yhteys aluksella toteutetaan linkkien avulla, jotka yhdistävät laivan viestintäsatelliitteihin, jotka kiertävät kaukana maan yläpuolella.

Satelliitti-internetyhteys on saatavilla kaikissa aluksen yleisissä tiloissa sekä useimmissa hyteissä, mukaan lukien kaikki MSC Yacht Club -sviitit. Tarvitset vain yhden Satelliitti-internetyhteyspaketeistamme ja mobiililaitteen, kuten älypuhelimen, tabletin tai kannettavan tietokoneen.

Browse & Stream -paketin avulla voit käyttää videopuheluita sekä suoratoistaa musiikkia ja videoita, mitä ei ole mahdollista Browse-paketilla.

Ruuhkautuminen voi hidastaa internet-yhteyttä, aivan kuten maissakin.

Siksi on suositeltavaa välttää ruuhka-aikoja, mikäli mahdollista.

Paketteja on saatavilla joko päivittäin tai koko risteilyn ajaksi. "Per cruise" -hinta määräytyy risteilyn pituuden mukaan. Tarkista tietyn risteilyn hinnat verkkosivujemme "Wifi"-osiosta tai aluksen verkosta ollessasi laivalla.

Voit päivittää pakettisi laivalla MSC Captive Portal -järjestelmän kautta (verkkosivusto, jolla prepaid-paketti aktivoidaan). Voit päivittää Browse-pakettiin lisälaitteilla tai Browse & Stream -pakettiin. Maksat ainoastaan erotuksen pakettien kokonaishinnoista, säilyttäen näin 20 % alennusedun.

Internet-yhteyden tarjoaminen aluksella satelliittiteknologian kautta vaatii merkittäviä investointeja huipputeknologiaan. Satelliitti-internetyhteyspalvelun käyttäjiltä perittävät maksut kattavat osan palvelun huomattavista kustannuksista.

Joillakin aluksilla, jotka tarjoavat premium-palvelun nimeltä Satellite Internet Plus, hinta on korkeampi. Näitä aluksia ovat MSC Seaside, MSC Seaview ja MSC Splendida. Näillä laivoilla matkustajat nauttivat nopeammasta yhteydestä ja paremmasta yhteyslaadusta.

Käyttäjän ollessa kirjautuneena päivitykset ja taustalla toimivat sovellukset voivat lisätä tiedonsiirtoa, vaikka internetiä ei aktiivisesti käytettäisikään. Ruuhkien vähentämiseksi ja aktiivisten käyttäjien yhteyden nopeuttamiseksi järjestelmä katkaisee automaattisesti yhteyden XX minuutin kuluttua.

Katkaisemisen välttämiseksi voit palata tälle sivulle ennen XX minuutin umpeutumista ja NOLLATA ajastimen.

Jos järjestelmä kirjauttaa sinut automaattisesti ulos, voit aktivoida yhteytesi uudelleen yksinkertaisesti klikkaamalla START.

Soveltuvin koulutuksin ja sertifioinnein varustetut opaskoira sallitaan kaikilla aluksilla, edellyttäen että ne ovat hyvässä terveydentilassa ja niillä on kaikki tarvittavat asiakirjat risteilyn aikana vierailtavien ulkomaiden maahantuloa varten. Vieraille tiedotetaan etukäteen eläimelle järjestetyistä majoitusmahdollisuuksista, käytettävissä olevista palveluista (tarvittaessa) sekä nousu- ja poistumisjärjestelyistä. Vieras on henkilökohtaisesti vastuussa eläimen valvonnasta, ruokinnasta ja yleisestä hoidosta koko laivallaoloaikansa ajan, tarvittaessa hoitajan avustuksella.

Yritys käyttää kuutta pääkieltä viestinnässään: englantia, italiaa, saksaa, ranskaa, espanjaa ja brasilianportugalia. Näiden kielten esiintymisjärjestys määräytyy yksinomaan kunkin kieliryhmän vieraiden lukumäärän suhteessa kokonaisvierasmäärään. Hyttitietovihkonen ja muut laivalla käytettävät painetut materiaalit ovat saatavilla eri versioina kaikilla kuudella yllä mainitulla kielellä. Ruokalistojen kielijärjestys vaihtelee sen mukaan, millä maailman alueella kukin laiva kulloinkin liikkuu.

Kestävyys merkitsee meille ympäristön suojelemista, yhteistyössä työskentelevien ja kanssamme matkustavien ihmisten tukemista sekä vierailujemme ja liiketoimintamme kohteena olevien yhteisöjen ja paikkojen huomioimista.

Kestävyysohjelmamme rakentuu neljän keskeisen pilarin varaan: Planeetta, Ihmiset, Paikka ja Hankinnat. Tämä tarkoittaa jatkuvaa pyrkimystä parantaa laivastomme ympäristötehokkuutta; huolehtia kaikista työntekijöistämme sekä edistää monimuotoisuutta ja osallisuutta; varmistaa, että vaikutuksemme rannikkoyhteisöihin pysyy myönteisenä; sekä hankkia vastuullisesti tuotteet ja palvelut, joita tarvitsemme.

Kestävyys tarkoittaa myös miehistömme ja vieraidemme turvallisuuden asettamista kaiken toiminnan keskiöön. Vuonna 2020 Covid-19-pandemian aiheuttamien poikkeuksellisten olosuhteiden vuoksi jouduimme keskeyttämään kaikki toimintamme ja kotiuttamaan tuhansia vieraita ja miehistön jäseniä muutamassa päivässä. Lisäksi meidän oli turvattava liiketoimintamme, sopeutettava toimintatapamme ja valmistauduttava vieraiden turvalliseen paluuseen alan johtavan terveys- ja turvallisuusprotokollan avulla.

Kaikki rakastavat vastapestyjen vaatteiden tuntua ja saman päivän pyykkipalvelun mukavuutta. Jatka rentoutumisen iloa upean pitkän loman jälkeen palaamalla kotiin paitasi ja housusi pestyinä, kuivattuina ja valmiina kaappiin laitettaviksi. Siksi tarjoamme useita erilaisia pyykkipalvelupaketteja valittavaksesi.

Nauti vaivattomasta pyykkipalvelusta – kohtuullisella kertamaksulla sinä ja jokainen hyttisi matkustaja voitte käyttää palvelua milloin tahansa, enintään 40 vaatekappaletta per hytti per risteily. Vaatteesi noudetaan ennen klo 12:00 ja palautetaan 48 tunnin kuluessa. Pyykkipalvelu ei ole saatavilla risteilyn viimeisenä päivänä.

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.

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.

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

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.

• 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.
