MSC Cruises Health & Safety Protocols
MSC Cruises is deeply dedicated to protecting the health, safety, and comfort of the guests and crew members while preserving the breathtaking marine environments we visit. Operating one of the most modern and technologically advanced fleets at sea, MSC integrates international maritime safety compliance with rigid public health standards so you can cruise the world with complete confidence.
International Maritime Safety & SOLAS Compliance
A cruise onboard an MSC vessel is backed by some of the most rigorous safety infrastructure in the travel industry. Every ship in the fleet is built, equipped, and operated in strict accordance with the International Maritime Organization?s Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention. Our crews undergo continuous, intensive emergency response training, certification, and regular onboard drills, ensuring the highest level of preparedness for any operational situation.
- Guest ID Wristbands: To enhance family safety on board, children ages 0 to 12 are provided with a dedicated ID wristband at embarkation. This wristband must be worn throughout the voyage to ensure quick identification and seamless coordination with our Youth Club staff in the unlikely event of an emergency briefing.
- Comprehensive Security Systems: Our vessels are secured using advanced access control screening checkpoints at the gangways. Public areas are continuously monitored by dedicated closed-circuit camera systems, and highly trained Ship Security Officers patrol the fleet 24/7.
