Web check-in faqs 

The web check-in is used to collect your personal data, which is necessary to issue your E-ticket and Boarding pass. Please note that all guests must enter their data. Please click here to verify the required travel documents and visas for your entire cruise and ensure you have them available when needed.

To board our cruises, you only need one of the following documents: an E-ticket or Boarding Pass.

• E-ticket:
  An e-ticket is an electronic ticket that provides a summary of all booked services, information about the itinerary, luggage labels, and other useful details for going on your MSC Cruise.
• Boarding Pass:
  The boarding pass is an online document issued only to customers who book directly from the website and complete the web check-in. It includes a QR code scanned at boarding.

If you booked through our website and completed the web check-in, at the end of the web check-in process, you will be able to request via E-mail the E-ticket and download the Boarding pass.

If you have booked via a travel agency you can request your tickets directly from your travel agent.

 

Web check-in is available from 30 days to 24 hours before departure. We recommend completing your web check-in as early as possible to ensure you receive your E-ticket and Boarding pass promptly.

Please note that all fields with an asterisk (*) are mandatory. When you enter your postcode and click "Search postcode," the "Region and District" field in your address information will be filled in automatically. Security photo and credit card registration are not mandatory for obtaining your E-ticket and Boarding pass. However, we recommend them to expedite your embarkation process.

A device with a camera is required to create the security photo, for example a smartphone or laptop with a camera. The photo is taken automatically as soon as all the necessary requirements such as brightness and positioning of the face are met. It is not possible to upload the photo locally.

No, you can register your credit card on board at the Activation Points or leave a cash deposit with Guest Services at reception immediately after embarkation. Please make sure that your credit or debit card can be used abroad.

All purchases made on board are paid for with your personal Cruise Card. You therefore do not need to have any cash or credit cards with you on board. If you have already registered your credit card during web check-in, you do not need to register your means of payment on board.

You can only register a credit card for yourself or other guests included in your booking. Once registered, credit card details cannot be changed, corrected, or cancelled before departure. Please contact Guest Services directly on board if any changes are needed.

An emergency contact is a person you designate to be contacted in case of an emergency during your cruise; in this section you should provide the name, surname, and phone number of a contact person, such as a relative or friend.

If possible, please change the device you are using (e.g., laptop instead of smartphone). Please ensure that you are using the latest browser version. Delete your cookies and cache if necessary.

MSC Cruises will assign you a specific check-in slot by default.

To request shared dining with friends or family, enter their booking number in the Travel With section during the web check-in. Please note that shared dining is subject to availability.
