Effective from the 1st of July 2024. Please be advised that this policy is included in MSC's booking terms and conditions and their conditions of carriage.
1. If minors are travelling without their parent/legal guardian’s or only travelling with one parent/legal guardian, please refer to our FAQ on MSC Book found here
2. Infants who are under 2 years of age are admitted on board, except for cruises starting from 11 nights onwards, for which it is required that the minor is at least 2 years old at the time of embarkation.
3. Guests under 18 years old (or 21 years for guests embarking from a US port) must travel accompanied by their parents or a legal guardian. Otherwise, a signed authorisation letter from the absent parent must be provided when booking, along with the name of a chaperone or a designated individual in charge of the minor.
Should you have an existing booking that is affected by the above change/s, please be advised that our Change Control Team will be in contact with you in due course.
It is the parent/guardian's responsibility to travel with the correct documentation. Please be aware that failure to travel with the correct documentation could result in delays at immigration and/or denied boarding.
