MSC To Cruise Once more on January 24 – Cruise Trade Information

MSC Cruises announced today that the MSC Grandiosa will return to sea on January 24th, according to a press release.

Following the latest ministerial decree of the Italian government and the related updated health measures, the ship will continue its planned weekly cruises, which depart from Genoa (Italy) every Sunday and call at the Italian ports of Civitavecchia, Naples, Palermo and Valletta in Malta.

Embarkation is possible in any port in Italy.

The decree authorized the resumption of cruise operations under the protection of the MSC Cruises Health and Safety Protocol, developed and approved by the Italian Health, Transportation and Safety Authorities last summer. Since then, MSC Cruises has safely welcomed more than 30,000 guests aboard its two Italian-based ships, the company said.

During the Christmas and New Years period until the latest ministerial decree was issued, cruises based in Italy were temporarily suspended due to restrictive measures taken by local authorities regarding the movement of people within the country.
