Updated September 21, 2022 We have relaxed our global protocols and travel requirements for most cruises. All travelers are invited to cruise with us, regardless of vaccination status. Vaccinations are not required on most voyages. Vaccinated guests will no longer have to test before boarding and only need to show proof of vaccination. Unvaccinated guests are welcome aboard with a self-administered COVID-19 test taken within 3 days of embarkation.
Some voyages require Enhanced Protocols including Alaska, Canada, Australia, Greece embarkations and remote sailings. Before you cruise, check our Enhanced Protocol Lookup and FAQs to find out if your voyage requires additional health regulation requirements. Protocols are only available for 2022 voyages.
