What are my pre-boarding requirements in terms of vaccinations and testing?

Pre-departure vaccination and testing requirements may vary depending on the cruise line, itinerary, destination, and regional restrictions.

We recommend that you check the policy of the cruise line you are travelling with, directly on the cruise line's website, to ensure you are meeting their boarding requirements. The majority of the cruise lines have now dedicated Covid-19 Hubs where you can find all the information you need for your departure.

Please also see the My Booking section on our home page and log in to your account (using your Planet booking reference) to obtain all of your personalised pre-departure information for your sailing.

We will also send a pre-departure email notification highlighting the pre-boarding requirements approximately 21 days and 5 days prior to your departure.

Please note that health protocols, rules, and guidance are subject to change, very often at short notice. Due to the evolving nature of protocols, it is ultimately the guest's responsibility to adhere to the correct vaccination and testing requirements as outlined by both the countries visited and the cruise line. Please see the official government travel advice for more information.
