MSC Cruise Luggage Policy: Allowance, Restrictions & Shipping

According to the MSC drone policy, you cannot bring your drone on a cruise ship. Drones are explicitly listed as forbidden luggage items on MSC cruises. Remember, the crew may instead check your carry-on luggage when embarking, so if you carry any electronics that break the MSC drone policy, they may be confiscated until the end of the cruise.

The crew will load your luggage on the ship when boarding, but you will have to print and attach the identifying label generated with your ticket so they can put all your bigger suitcases and bags directly in your cabin. As for carry-on bags on MSC Cruise lines, you should carry all your important documents, tickets, money, jewellery, medicines and personal items, because the line is not liable for any losses or damage occurred during the boarding.

When booking an MSC fly-cruise, you will have to follow the airline’s luggage policy, and usually, these policies are far more restricting than the MSC Cruises luggage allowance policies. Shipping your luggage through Eurosender directly to the boarding port is the perfect solution if you do not want to drag your suitcases and bags to and from the airport or want to carry more luggage for your MSC cruise.

Hair straighteners are included on the forbidden luggage items list for MSC cruises because they are heat sources and can be dangerous on board. Most MSC cruises have on board salons and hair dryers in every room.

Wheelchairs, baby carriages and strollers are allowed on board. They must stay inside the cabin when not used and never block escape routes. You will have to contact the cruise line and inform them beforehand.

Cameras are allowed on board. Make sure you bring a charger with you that follows the cruise’s specifications. You can check with the cruise line beforehand to ensure your accessories (like ring lights or tripods) will not be confiscated when boarding.

Yes, you can get your luggage items shipped to a loading dock. Make sure you contact MSC cruises beforehand and that you add enough information to your luggage so it can be identified.

If you are planning a longer trip and your items will likely be over the MSC Cruise luggage limit, you must contact MSC before the boarding date because extra pieces of luggage or too heavy bags will not be accepted.

Please note all suitcases and bags go under inspection and X rays before they are loaded into the ship. If you are travelling with forbidden or restricted luggage items on MSC Cruises, they will be seized and will not go on the ship.

If you have booked an excursion or plan to visit a particular spot after the cruise, you can plan and send your luggage to a hotel, hostel, camping or other destinations and not be limited by the MSC luggage restrictions. All we need is a complete postal address and a contact person. You can also ship from an excursion site and have your articles reach your home or a loved one’s while you continue your journey without having to worry about the MSC cruise luggage limit.
