MSC - UK - Covid vaccination / test requirements

[Ryan82]

Hi there, sorry, I'm dyslexic and I've read and read both the MSC website and other forums but I can't seen to find a definitive answer as to what's required to board MSC from UK.

 

I have had both vaccinations and the Booster on 22 December 2021 which will be some 297 days when my cruise ends. Due to my age group / circumstances I am not able to get the seasonal booster available.

 

What will I need to do prior to boarding? Thanks in advance, and real sorry if this has been covered elsewhere.

As far as I can tell, all you need is one of the following:  antigen/NAAT/PCR test 3 days before sailing.

I think OP is sailing Preziosa to Northern Europe.

 

in that case, one  needs full vaccination ( 2+boosters he has qualifies) and

PCR or Antigen Covid test that is  lab monitored with printed result.

Test must be taken within 2 days of sailing.

 

COVID-19 TEST REQUIREMENTS: 
All guests 2 years & older must show proof of a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR or antigen test taken no more than 2 days before embarkation.  Guests must bring the valid negative test certificate with them to the terminal.
