MSC resumes sailing after five-month hiatus

MSC Grandiosa departed Genoa on Sunday (16 August) on a seven-day western Med itinerary, calling in Rome, Naples, Palermo and Maltese capital Valletta.

All crew and guests were tested for Covid-19 before departure, with the ship operating at around 70% capacity (2,500 passengers).

Later this month, MSC Magnifica will resume operations in the eastern Med, departing Bari and Trieste in Italy and calling in the Greek ports of Corfu, Katakolon and Piraeus.

These departures will get under way on 29 August.
