Covid tests for Northern Europe from Southampton

[Dickuk]

Looks like the MSC UK page has been updated, I am sure this message (in bold) wasn't there before, see below :

 

Seems to clear up that MSC will accept self-test kits as long as they provide a cert, e.g. Randox, UKHealthTesting, etc.

 

Cheapest I could see is via UKHealthTesting @ £8.75 - https://ukhealthtesting.com/product/pre-cruise-rapid-antigen-test-lft/

 

Hope this helps someone 🙂

Thanks, yes saw this today. Sailing 2 weeks time and was wondering if MSC would follow some other cruise lines and stop pre testing for Northern Europe. I gather that people have been doing antigen self tests for MSC with certification for some time though.

We sail in 2 weeks time too and wondered the same, will keep my eye on the page, but the tests are pretty cheap so not too bad, and its nice to know that everyone boarding will have tested too.

I am thinking of using Randox for the antigen self test. Can someone please confirm for me that the one I need is the "Lateral Flow - test at home" kit for £13.50 on this page please? ... 

Pre-departure - Covid Randox

 

Thanks
