The ship is amazing and all the crew go above and beyond to help you. MSC do everything to make sure your stay with them is perfect. The on board fertility are amazing and all the trips of the ship that are arranged by MSC are look after by MSC and are brilliant

Embarkation was brilliant, superb and very slick! Disembarkation not so due to excessive queuing. There was no system, no signposting and no staff to ask until virtually outside / off the ship. Access to toilets on the ship during the disembarkation process was closed. Adverse weather conditions disrupted our itinerary and because we visited only 1 out of the advertised 3 ports this was extremely disappointing. When we eventually got off the ship at La Rochelle, the free transport into the city was amazing. The system in place to get back on board the ship was horrendous. Again, no access to toilets and a poor, long queuing system for the amount of passengers involved.

Further information

Onboard

MSC offer two seated dining options, which they call Classic Dining. There is an early sitting at around 7pm and a late sitting at around 9pm. These sittings can varyby ship. MSC also offer a more flexible dining option called 'My Time' dining. This allows you to chose the time that you dine in the main restaurant. Aurea guests have an anytime dining option.

MSC offers a wide range of dietary options, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and low-sodium choices. Guests can notify the cruise line in advance, and the onboard dining team strives to cater to individual dietary requirements.

MSC guests are limited to two suitcases and two pieces of hand luggage when checking in for their cruise. However, we highly recommend that you read your cruise ticket in full before travelling as these limits may change.

Apart from their fantastic formal and themed evenings, MSC guests are invited to wear casual resort attire whilst on board. Casual resort attire would incude a shirt with chinos, or summer dresses and a jacket. Whislt formal wear would be a suit or smart evening trousers with a jacket and tie, and cocktail dresses.

Iglu Cruise has a team in place to provide necessary assistance to make your holiday run smoothly. If anyone in your party requires medical or mobility assistance, notify your Cruise Specialist at the time of booking or as soon as possible if circumstances change after booking. The Special Assistance Team will email a form 6-8 weeks before departure, which must be completed and returned.

Travel requirements

All passengers (including all children), should hold their own full 10-year (5 years for children) British Citizen (GBR) passport. The passport should be valid for at least 6 months past your expected return date to the UK, as this is often a criteria for entry to certain countries.

MSC Cruises recommends that every Passenger should have an adequate insurance policy which covers them sufficiently for cancellation, medical assistance and expenses, loss and/or damage of the luggage.
