  • WEB SITE UPDATE B2C Itinerary Updates 11/03/2020
    WEB SITE UPDATE B2C Itinerary Updates 11/03/2020 Due the continued Covid-19 crisis development in many of the countries where we operate, the restrictions imposed by various government and port authorities, and the safety measures we put in place since January, we are forced to adjust or cancel some of our itineraries. These decisions reflect the situation as it continuously evolves. We are in contact with governments, health authorities and local authorities to monitor any news and we will keep adjusting our operations as often as required to protect the health of our guests and crew members. It’s worth noting however that as of today most of our fleet continues to operate as planned, and we have had no Covid-19 case on our ships. In the Emirates due to a limitation on passenger’s movement imposed by the local authorities we are cancelling the cruises of MSC Bellissima and MSC Lirica starting from March 14, including the Grand Voyages of MSC Bellissima on March 21 and that of MSC Lirica on April 18 In the Mediterranean due to the limitation of movements requested by the Italian government, embarkation disembarkation and transit are not possible at the moment. Consequently, we are adjusting the itineraries of MSC Grandiosa and we are cancelling the cruises of MSC Opera from March 10 to April 21. For both programs as well as for other smaller changes, all details are available in the table below. Please note we may have to do further adjustments as the situation evolves. For the cruises we are forced to cancel we will offer to our guests a voucher equal to the value of the cancelled cruise, to be used for any future sailing departing before the end of 2021 plus an on board credit of €100 per cabin for cancelled cruises up to 6 nights and €200 for cruises of 7 nights or longer.

    MSC CRUISES RETURNS TO SERVICE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN THANKS TO INDUSTRY-LEADING HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOL COMPANY RELEASES HALF-YEAR 2020 RESULTS TOGETHER WITH OUTLOOK AND UPDATES ON MEASURES ADOPTED TO SAFEGUARD LIQUIDITY Geneva, Switzerland, 22 October 2020 – MSC Cruises returned into service with its flagship MSC Grandiosa and MSC Magnifica starting from 16 August and 19 October 2020 respectively, offering guests full cruise holidays with the opportunity to also discover different destinations in the Mediterranean, during seven- and ten-night cruises. The two MSC Cruises ships are the first to implement the Company’s new operating health and safety protocol. The protocol has been approved by the relevant national authorities from the countries that the ships are calling along their Eastern and Western Mediterranean itineraries: Italy, Greece and Malta. MSC Cruises’ health and safety protocol MSC Cruises’ new health and safety operating protocol has been designed to protect the health and safety of guests, crew as well as the local communities that the Company’s ships visit and has since been called a new standard for the overall industry. Its main pillars are: universal testing of all guests and crew prior to embarkation; “social bubble” for protected visits ashore at each destination; and an innovative onboard contact tracing mechanism. Moreover, the Seven Core Elements of a common health and safety protocol to support the resumption of the overall industry as put forward by CLIA, the Cruise Lines International Association, are inspired by the Nine Pillars on which MSC Cruises’ own protocol is based (see appendix for more details on MSC Cruises’ Nine Pillars).

  • Cruise Segment Sub-Report Final
    CRUISE SEGMENT SUB-REPORT WESTERN CAPE TOURISM MASTERPLAN DEVELOPMENT STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL PREPARED FOR: The Department of Economic Development and Tourism (DEDAT) of the Provincial Government of the Western Cape, South Africa PROJECT NUMBER: EDT 004-19 FOCUS: UK, Europe & Americas LEADERS: Rashid Toefy, Deputy Director-General Ilse van Schalkwyk, Chief Director Economic Sector Support SUBMITTED BY: ANITA MENDIRATTA, Founder and President - AM&A DATE: February 11th 2020 FINAL 1. INTRODUCTION In Q3 2019 ANITA MENDIRATTA & Associates is honoured to have been invited by DEDAT to participate in a process around establishment of, as expressed by DEDAT: “a 15- year tourism master plan for the Western Cape (WCTMP). The Master Plan will set the foundation to start shaping the development needed to maintain and develop a sustainable and thriving tourist destination.” Central to WCTMP development is conducting comprehensive research around the potential of the Western Cape for travellers from two priority global regions, namely: 1) The Americas: representing 16.64% of current overseas travellers to South Africa with 57.2% of those visitors going to the Western Cape (WESGRO) 2) Europe: representing 60.57% of current overseas travellers to South Africa with 62.0% of those visitors going to the Western Cape (WESGRO) with emphasis on Megatrends and Destination Potential. This process is well underway, with Draft 2 of AM&A’s research underway with DEDAT. Within the report composed by AM&A, 15 Traveller Megatrends were identified as central to shaping the future of tourism growth globally. Within the 15, one of them, namely CRUISE TOURISM (no. 10), represents a significant, continuous- growth niche within global tourism.
