  • 1 Msc Cruises Returns to Service in The
    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).
