Creator's Key Takeaways

Greece on Monday has introduced a seasonal fee on cruise passengers disembarking at its ports part of a big broad effort to manage tourism a little bit

The charge is going to be collected electronically by the cruise operators and port agents

This new revenue generated by the fee, which is going to be tens of millions of dollars a year, is going to be put into place for port improvements, waste management, water systems, and sustainability initiatives

MSC has issued an advisory to passengers... if you decide not to get off on that port, they will refund you the money for that specific port

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Be aware you are going to get hit with additional charges if visiting Greece this summer

✓Allow for those additional charges as you're going

✓Check if your cruise line will refund the fee if you don't disembark
