MSC Cruises S.A. informs pregnant women that they must present a medical certificate which - taking account

relevant factors - confirms their fitness to undertake the proposed journey, as well as the week of pregnancy.
MSC Cruises S.A. also informs you that the medical facilities and equipment on board may be technically inadequate
for the purposes of childbirth, or to deal with complications in pregnancy, and that during a cruise circumstances
may arise which present a potential risk to the pregnancy (such as, for example, the swaying movement of the
vessel, adverse weather conditions, fatigue during excursions, sudden changes in weather, excessive noise and
possible bus transfers, etc.).
GUIDE DOG:

MSC Cruises S.A. welcomes guide dogs on board its cruise vessels, on condition that they are in good health and in

stamped within the 24 hours preceding the journey by the veterinary surgeon certifying the animal’s physical
condition). MSC Cruises S.A. will give prior notice to the passenger concerning the accommodation granted to the
animal, any facilities available for it and the relevant arrangements for embarkation and disembarkation of the vessel.
The passenger, on his/her part, undertakes to be personally responsible for the custody, nutrition and general care

time for your requirements to be met. In any case, since the air carrier is a third party and not MSC Cruises S.A.,
it may take a few days to confirm the availability of the service requested. The option of using your own wheelchair
to access the stairs/door of the aircraft may be available, depending on the airport of departure.

MSC Cruises S.A. also informs you that:
The vessel has limited medical facilities and equipment which may consequently be technically inadequate for the

The means of transport used for excursions (provided by third parties and not MSC Cruises S.A. and not included
in the holiday package) may not be technically suitable for your specific needs;
The Captain has the power in any event - acting on the advice of the on-board Medical Officer - to refuse, at his
entire discretion, to allow you to embark, or to require you to disembark at any time and at any port, at your own
cost, in the event that your safety is likely to be compromised by the vessel.
