Geneva, Switzerland (February 4, 2021) – MSC Cruises announced today that the Company is working closely with the Greek Ministry of Tourism, and other relevant authorities, on reopening local tourism services to resume serving cruise passengers visiting Greece, starting with the upcoming Easter holiday period.

In related news, MSC Cruises also announced that it is cancelling all of MSC Magnifica’s scheduled cruises through to April 29. The ship was originally scheduled to return to sea starting on February 14 with a Greece-bound itinerary. MSC Magnifica will thus be replaced for voyages to the Eastern Mediterranean, including Greece, during the Easter period and throughout the summer season.

MSC Grandiosa recently resumed seven-night cruises from Genoa, Italy under the protection of MSC Cruises’ comprehensive health and safety protocol. The ship calls at Civitavecchia, Naples, Palermo/Cagliari in Italy as well as Valetta in Malta during weekly itineraries.
