MSC cruises will be resuming cruising in August. This is big cruise news as many cruise lines continue to suspend sailings. The MSC Grandiosa and the MSC Magnifica will be sailing to ports in the Mediterranean. MSC cruise line updates their guidelines to ensure passenger, crew and local health. They will be following the EU Healthy Gateways Guidelines. A few major points is that they are sailing at 70% capacity, masks are required when you can't socially distance, and they will be taking temperatures. All this is to lower the risk of COVID19.
