MSC Seaside has joined MSC Grandiosa back at sea this past Saturday, welcoming guests back on board for weekly 7-night cruises in the Western Mediterranean as the company ramps up its resumption operations, MSC Cruises said in a statement.

The itinerary features destinations in Siracusa in Sicily and Taranto in Puglia, Italy. “The ship is now two days into her voyage, having departed from Genoa, Italy on 1 May, followed by a relaxing day at sea on Sunday and is now in the stunning port of Valetta, Malta today. As part of her itinerary, the ship will also call in Civitavecchia for Rome,” the company said.

MSC Seaside becomes the second ship back at sea for the 2021 summer season, with further ships, including sister ship and future flagship MSC Seashore to join them in the Mediterranean from August. All ships will implement the Company’s rigorous health and safety protocol, which has been developed with a Blue Ribbon Panel.
