Cruise industry promotes summer travel deals and health safety tips

MSC Cruises is marketing a "Best Holiday Ever" summer experience, offering Fly & Cruise packages that combine flights, ground transport and cruise fare, price‑transparent pricing, included dining, entertainment, pools, water parks and family programmes, and flexible cancellation and travel‑insurance options for trips to more than 300 destinations starting summer 2026.

Travel experts advise cruise passengers to protect their health by washing hands frequently, staying hydrated, using sunscreen, avoiding shared buffet utensils, preparing for motion sickness, getting adequate rest and being cautious during shore excursions. These simple precautions aim to reduce the risk of norovirus, flu and other illnesses that can spread in the close‑contact environment of cruise ships.
