GENEVA. MSC Cruises announced that it will further extend the temporary fleet-wide halt of its cruise operations through July 31, 2020.
The Swiss cruise company has detailed its cruise programme for 2021. According to its press release, Gianni Onorato, CEO, MSC Cruises stated: “While today we have taken the difficult decision to further extend the halt of operations of all our ships, it is important that we also look ahead as we know that our customers are dreaming of travel and are wanting to plan their holidays for next year. For this reason, we have now also confirmed our March – November program for 2021.”
In the meantime
“Shorter-term,” added Onorato, “Our ships will return to service only when the time is right, in phases and by region, and following guidance from the relevant national and international health and other regulatory authorities and the support of a new operating protocol especially focused on health and safety, which we will announce soon. This way, gradually, all of our ships will return to sea between then and the beginning of our summer 2021 season.”
