Safe travels

Guests are able to go ashore independently but must adhere to the specific COVID-19 protocols in each destination. However, as restrictions in each destination are changeable, and some destinations may only allow cruise line organised experiences ashore, we highly recommend you purchase your shore experiences prior to travel to ensure you always have the option to explore each destination. In order to keep up to date with the latest status of each port, please refer to this dedicated page on our website, which is updated weekly.
