It’s understandable why many voyagers can get muddled on what they need to do in relation to COVID-19 vaccination requirements for their next cruise. As with any rapidly changing scenario like this one, laws and regulations change at a rapid pace, and this often affects your cruise vaccination requirements. In turn, each operator has prepared their own cruise vaccination policy that is designed to work across all destinations they service. If you want to ensure you have a worry-free voyage, we strongly suggest reading these cruise health policies carefully. Not sure where to go? Have no fear, we provide all the relevant links and information you need for all of the major cruise lines below.
Are vaccines mandatory for cruises?
There is no simple answer to this as each country or jurisdiction has its own policies, and cruise lines tend to overlay these with their own set or rules. To avoid the chance of you missing your next cruise, whether domestic or international, we suggest being fully vaccinated. This ensures you can sail stress-free knowing you won’t have your voyage cut short due to any cruise vaccination policy when entering another state or territory.
