MSC Cruises has amended its passenger vaccination rules – now requiring all adult guests to be fully vaccinated – after a change in government policy allowing increased ship capacity.
The move follows a decision by the Department for Transport to permit an expansion in passenger numbers to up to 50% of a ship’s capacity, provided guests are fully vaccinated.
Sailings could previously operate with up to 1,000 passengers or 50% capacity, whichever was lower.
In a statement announcing its policy change, MSC said its focus was “on inconveniencing as few guests as possible in this rapidly changing environment".
