The Cruise Division of MSC Group has confirmed cruise resumption in Brazil, following the green light from local health authority, Anvisa, for the resumption of cruise sailings in the country after a 20-month hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company also welcomed the decision by the South African government to permit cruise ships to operate this coming 2021 season.
Three of MSC Cruises’ biggest and most innovative vessels are set to operate in Brazilian waters between November 2021 and March 2022. MSC Preziosa, MSC Seaside and MSC Splendida will homeport in Brazil. This will be MSC Seaside’s first ever season in the country.
The Company is now waiting for the government’s additional specific guidelines for the resumption of cruises for South African holidaymakers and it will soon reconfirm the schedule of cruises planned for the season 2021/22.
