MSC requires guests to be on an MSC purchased excursion to disembark in port.

Is this true????.....we have booked a 14 day cruise out of Southhampton on Sept 10th to the Baltic.....just read this in the fine print......is this just one of those inclusions that they do not follow or is real....do not always want to take a cruise ship tour....like to do our own thing......if this is correct and probably will not change before Sept may have to consider changing the cruise to another mainstream one that lets us do our own thing......also so MSC wants  virus coverage but we have that in Canada with our health plan now.....But....it seems you have to supply proof you have it.....lots of paperwork...lol.....Ken

Hi Ken ... Hope you guys are well, for now certainly in Europe EC Countries you have to pay for tours, but by next year hopefully things will change and by the time of your cruise you may be able to do your own thing.

Hello again....see you are lurking on the site.....remember well the first Divina cruise to Florida way back in 2013....wow a long time ago.....we sure had a good time on it.....still have fond memories of the ship and this cruise to the Baltics is still one of our bucket list ones.....keep healthy....Ken in snowy Kelowna

This is a requirement of various European ports and changes as covid ebbs and flows.
