MSC Cruises return to SA: All the changes you need to know

MSC Cruises is returning to South African shores in November for the 2022/2023 season. Here’s what you need to know about the protocols.

MSC Cruises is dedicating two ships to South Africa for the 2022/2023 season but there are some rules for unvaccinated travellers. 

MSC RETURNS TO SOUTH AFRICAN SHORES 

Ready to cruise? Well MSC Cruises will be bringing two ships to South Africa for the 2022/2023 season as it looks to capitalise on the post-lockdown leisure travel rebound. Unvaccinated travellers will be able to travel, but they have to test negative for COVID-19 first.

The MSC Orchestra will return to South African shores in November 2022. The ship will have around 40 sailings to Mozambique and local destinations. MSC Sinfonia will operate approximately 22 sailings out of Cape Town to Namibia as well as other various local destinations. 

Itineraries vary from two to seven-night cruises, according to the cruise company’s statement on Thursday 29 September.

“We are delighted to be bringing two ships to South Africa this upcoming season, and we reaffirm our commitment to affordable and safe cruise holidays for South Africans,” said Ross Volk, MD for MSC Cruises South Africa.

“Our dedication to playing our part in the recovery of the tourism sector in South Africa has made it possible for us to create a second cruising hub in Cape Town. MSC Sinfonia will be permanently positioned in Cape Town for the duration of the cruise season and will serve our guests seeking a more cultural experience with our cruises to Namibia,” Volk continued.

THE COVID-19 PROTOCOLS FOR CRUISING 

Some COVID-10 restrictions may have been lifted but the cruise company still has protocol in place to ensure safety of their travellers. Here’s what you need to know:

• Vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers will be allowed on board.
• So, vaccinated travellers will no longer need to provide a negative test result before departure.
• However, unvaccinated travellers – who are five years and older – need to provide a negative Covid-19 PCR test 48 hours prior to departure. This needs to be “in accordance with the local government regulations in South Africa,” according to Business Insider.
• Children under five will not need to take a test.

MSC Cruises FAQs

Is wi-fi available on my msc cruise.

Yes, although higher-speed broadband connections are not available at sea, a link between satellites orbiting the earth and the ships of the fleet provides the internet connection. For this reason, do be prepared for speeds slightly slower than those you may be used to on land.

Connection is available 24 hours a day on all of the company’s ships, through a selection of competitively priced packages.

What entertainment is available on board my MSC cruise?

Entertainment is provided every evening in the form of shows, and every day through a host of engaging activities.

Evening performances can bring songs both classic and modern, dance, well-known musicals, as well as mime artists, magicians and jugglers. Each day’s evening performance will be announced in the on-board programme, which is delivered to your cabin.

Throughout the entire day, you can expect fitness and dance classes, quizzes, team games, sporting activities, talent competitions, karaoke, and much more.

Are MSC cruises suitable for families?

Very much so. All elements of an MSC cruise are designed to accommodate younger children as well as adults, from security measures and medical services to entertainment and dining.

The MSC Cruises Kids Club provides comprehensive entertainment programmes for children and parents in a warm, safe and attentive environment. In addition, there are games, activities and spaces tailored to the needs of each age group, from babies and toddlers up to teenagers.

Is smoking allowed on board an MSC cruise?

Yes, smoking is allowed in all designated smoking areas. These areas are clearly signposted and equipped with ashtrays. Smoking outside these areas is not permitted, and may result in a fine, or for repeat offences, disembarkation.

Can I shop aboard an MSC cruise?

Yes. All ships come equipped with shops offering an array of goods and services including hair and beauty salons and photography. Many goods can be sold duty free aboard an MSC Cruise (and indeed across most cruise lines), leading to potential discounts of up to 30% when compared to prices you may be used to on land.

A personal cruise card can be used to conveniently handle all purchases on board, eliminating the need to carry cash and credit cards.

What is the MSC Voyagers Club?

The MSC Voyagers Club is a loyalty programme designed to reward those who frequently cruise with MSC Cruises. All cruises and on-board purchases equate to a certain number of points, eventually unlocking a series of privileges for each Voyagers Club member.
