Scotland has banned all cruise calls until the country’s Covid epidemic eases to the point whereby the whole country can be placed under the Scottish government’s lowest Covid protection level.

The weekly programme will be shown on Quest Red from 29 September through to 3 November

The revelation came after it was revealed to the Scottish Passenger Agents’ Association on Tuesday (8 June) that MSC Virtuosa would be denied the right to dock in Greenock on Wednesday (9 June).


The Scottish government edict emerged less than 36 hours before the ship was due to arrive in the port, near Glasgow. MSC confirmed to TTG on Tuesday evening the call in Greenock would be cancelled.
