As you prepare for your journey, we would like to advise that this sailing has local COVID-19 health & safety regulations which must be adhered to for embarkation. Details can be found below.

Please note, additional travel restrictions for certain nationalities or countries may arise based on the quickly evolving public health environment. It is ultimately the responsibility of the guest to ensure they meet the entry requirements for each destination. If traveling internationally, the countries you are flying to and/or connecting through may have different testing and vaccination/booster stipulations, and we encourage all travelers to visit the government and airport websites of every country they will be traveling to throughout their journey to familiarize themselves with their requirements. Travelers may be denied entry to a country or denied boarding of the ship if all country-specific requirements are not met.

We strongly urge all guests to travel with comprehensive travel insurance with specific COVID-19 coverage, as well as to travel with a latest generation smart phone or tablet with international calling and data turned on in the event that regulations change while you are traveling.

While our ships are staffed with professional medical teams and common prescription medications, anti-virals and therapeutics, our ships do not accept medical insurance and guests must provide payment for all services, including any testing requirements for country entry, regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status.

Routinely evaluated using the latest science and technology, SailSAFE™, our industry leading Health & Safety Program, will continue to create multiple layers of protection against COVID-19 for our guests, crew and the communities we visit.

3) Face Coverings

At this time, face coverings are recommended but not required for guests on this cruise.

We will continue to update our face covering policy as protocols evolve and change as policies are subject to local oversight of authorities in the jurisdiction(s) in which the ships are sailing. Should local regulations change, guests may be required to wear face coverings with short notice.

Please note, certain airlines and in-destination venues and public transport services may implement their own policies, independent to the local jurisdiction, and we therefore recommend guests to travel with a supply of face-coverings.

4) Isolation and Quarantine Protocols

Guests will only be tested while on board if they report symptoms consistent with COVID-19, and it is deemed a medical necessity by the ship’s doctor, unless required due to local public health requirements. In the event that a guest tests positive for COVID-19 while on board, mandatory isolation protocols must be followed per the current local health and safety regulations. Guests who are deemed to have come into close contact with another guest who has tested positive for COVID-19 while on board, may also be subject to local isolation protocols. All guests are strongly urged to travel with comprehensive travel insurance.
