Health & Safety
Protocols for Cruise Travel:
As of July 18, 2022 the CDC's Program for Cruise Ships is no longer in effect. Each cruise line will be revising their own safe cruising protocols and they see necessary. Protocols are changing rapidly and vary according to individual cruise lines as well as individual ports visited. Outside of each company's vaccination protocols, some countries have more stringent requirements. For itineraries calling on those ports, the country's protocols will supersede the cruise line's protocols. The following protocols are current as of September 18th, 2022 and are specific to U.S. Ports, unless other specified.
Princess Cruise Line welcomes all guests onboard their ships. Vaccinated travelers are not required to test prior to sailing on most itineraries. Unvaccinated guests 5 years of age and older are required test negative (self-test acceptable) within 3 days of sailing.
Carnival Cruise Line welcomes all guests onboard their ships. For vaccinated guests, pre-sailing test is not required for cruises 15 days in length or less. Unvaccinated travelers 5 years of age and older will be required to show a negative test result within 3 days of sailing. Self-tests are acceptable as long as the local authorities in all of the ports visiting allows it. Otherwise, home-based tests will need to be proctored. Everyone 5 years of age and older are required to show a negative PCR for cruises 16 days or longer within 3 days of sailing.
Celebrity Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean Cruise Line welcomes all guests onboard their ships departing from U.S. and European ports. Testing protocols have also eased. For sailings 9 nights or less, vaccinated guests will no longer need to test to board one of our ships, where destinations allow; and will have 3 days prior to boarding to test for sailings 10 nights or more. Unvaccinated travelers 5 years and older will have to test within 3 days of sailing for cruises of all lengths. Self-tests are now acceptable for U.S sailings (with the exception of sailings that call on Canada and Bermuda) and many European sailings.
Norwegian Cruise Line removed their vaccine requirement for all guests who sail with them. Kids ages 11 and under are not required to show a negative covid test. Those ages 12 and over must show a medically supervised negative test, taken no earlier than 72 hours prior to embarkation.
Virgin Voyages now welcomes all guests to sail on their Lady ships. For those who are vaccinated, testing requirements have been removed. For their guests who are unvaccinated, a negative test taken within 72 hours of sail will be required to board (they can also test at the port for a fee).
Disney Cruise Line requires guests ages 12 years of age and older to be vaccinated prior to boarding their ships. The younger passengers, ages 11 and below, are not required to be vaccinated. Effective September 23rd, vaccinated passengers will not be required to submit a negative test prior to boarding. Unvaccinated passengers will still need to submit a negative test taken 1-3 days prior to embarkation.
