Vaccines
In order to sail on a Transatlantic, Transpacific, or Transocean crossing with us, we will require all guests ages 12 and older to be fully vaccinated. Children between 12 months and 11 years old may join us for our Transatlantic, Transpacific, or Transocean sailings, regardless of vaccination status.
If you are currently booked on a Transatlantic, Transpacific, or Transocean cruise sailing and are unvaccinated, please contact Celebrity Cruises at 1-844-418-6824 in North America or (316) 554-5961 worldwide.
COVID-19 booster vaccine shots are not currently required to sail but are highly recommended to ensure a smoother vacation experience.
Guests are considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19 if 2 weeks have passed since their second dose in a 2-dose series (such as Pfizer or Moderna vaccines); or, 2 weeks after a one dose series such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine.
Vaccines approved and accepted by the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) will be considered valid.
Guests with a mixed series of any two of the following vaccines taken within a minimum of 28 days between doses, will also be considered fully vaccinated:
- Pfizer/Cominarty
- Moderna/Spikevax
- Johnson & Johnson/Janssen
- AstraZeneca/Covishield/Vaxzevria
- Sinovac/Coronavac
- Sinopharm/BBIBP-CorV
- Covaxin
- Nuvaxovid
Any guest who has received one dose of a vaccine (other than Johnson & Johnson/Janssen) will not be considered fully vaccinated.
Please plan to carry your vaccination documentation with you should local authorities or businesses request it to help facilitate entry and/or experiences.

Pre-Arrival Covid-19 Testing
All guests ages 2 and older must present a digital or physical copy of a negative COVID-19 test result at check-in to board their sailing.
Guests must present a negative antigen test result taken within 2 days prior to sailing and no more than 2 days before their sailing.
Accepted tests are PCR or antigen tests taken in person, supervised virtually, or unsupervised self-administered. Proof of a negative test can be the printed or digital results, a clear photo of your self-test result, or your actual self-test in hand.
Guests who have recently recovered from COVID-19 may present a Certificate of Recovery and proof of the positive PCR test result taken between 11-90 days prior to the sail date in order to board. In addition, a vaccination card must also be presented. We will not accept a Certificate of Recovery in place of a vaccination record.
Additionally, please be aware that some ports of call do not accept a Certificate of Recovery for the purposes of debarking and enjoying the destination. If applicable to your itinerary, you will be advised of the latest requirements leading up to departure.
Re-Entry (to home country)
Most countries no longer require a re-entry test. Should you need a test to re-enter your country of residence, please visit the Guest Relations desk onboard the ship.
