Great news! Seabourn Cruise ships will be back in the water starting July! We are your resource for the most up to date information around vaccination & testing requirements, whether you will need a mask, taking shore excursions, and health & safety measurements taken by the cruise line.
Do I need a Vaccine to travel on a Seabourn Cruise?
All guests and crew must be fully vaccinated for the initial cruises.
We do not collect vaccination cards or store proof of vaccination. Those cruise lines that have vaccine requirements to cruise will likely ask for proof at the time of boarding.
Things to know:
- Guest will need to provide proof of vaccination as provided to them at the time of their vacation.
- To ensure all of our guests are safe and well before your journey with us begins, we will require you to complete a pre-departure medical health evaluation.
- During the phased embarkation process you, and your fellow guests, will be tested for COVID-19 by a medical specialist.
Do I need to wear a mask?
When physical distancing can’t be maintained, or when mandated by public health authorities, masks will be required on board, at private islands, and during shore excursions.
Things to know:
- Masks must be worn in terminals, during embarkation and disembarkation.
- All guests should carefully review pre-booking and pre-travel health advice on our website and the website of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- All team members will be required to wear Seabourn-approved face masks.
Can I get off the ship at port?
We’re working with local authorities, destinations and tour operators so that the enhanced health and safety measures on board are maintained ashore. We will follow the health protocols for every port we visit.
Things to know:
- There may be a reduction in the capacity of excursions and tour vehicles.
- Only shore excursions that comply with our prescribed protocols will be permitted, with strict adherence required of all guests and denial of re-boarding for any guests who do not comply.
These restrictions are under the control of local government and are subject to change without advance notice, so we encourage guests to come prepared for potential mask requirements ashore.
Health & Safety on the Ship
Our concern for your health and well-being begins well before your journey starts and continues each and every day aboard our ships, which feature stringent health and sanitation protocols.
Things to know:
- Public areas and staterooms will be thoroughly and more frequently cleaned using a safe disinfectant proven to kill coronaviruses.
- Our highly-trained medical staff includes doctors and nurses capable of caring for a broad range of medical conditions, including dealing with COVID-19 patients.
- Medical centers will be equipped with COVID appropriate testing and treatment capabilities.
- Ships will feature enhanced air filtration with upgraded HVAC systems.
- These systems will be designed to replace air within public spaces and staterooms every five to six minutes.
- HEPA filters will be used in key areas, such as medical centers and dedicated isolation rooms, as a further safeguard.
