ISN'T IT TIME?

TO CONNECT WITH THE WORLD AND EACH OTHER ON ONE OF THE SAFEST VACATIONS.

From bow to stern, we’re taking extraordinary measures to keep you Healthy at Sea.

It's a new world, but providing the same world-class service we're known for is our top priority, so enjoying vacation can be yours.

Updated Guidance for Cruises Departing the U.S.

(Excluding Sailings that Visit Canada and Bermuda)

We are currently developing updated protocols that provide for the continued safety of our guests, crew, and the communities we visit, better align with practices throughout the travel and hospitality sector, and meet destination regulations. This means we’re transitioning to the point where everyone will be able to vacation with us.

If your U.S. sailing departs August 8, 2022 or later, please refer to the updated guidelines for these sailings here.

Journey Safe. Journey WonderFULL^℠

You Should Know.

Effective June 12, 2022, all air passengers, regardless of vaccination status, will not need to present a negative COVID-19 test to return to the United States.

Celebrity Cruises operates vaccinated sailings, with crew and guest vaccination rates approaching 100%. Please visit the Country Travel Requirements page for the country of embarkation for your sailing for more information regarding vaccination age requirements.

HEALTHY AT SEA

Where local government regulations differ, we will comply with local requirements. We will continually evaluate and update these requirements and protocols as new information becomes available. Booked guests will be advised of the latest requirements leading up to departure.

Please be aware of both homeport country travel requirements and Celebrity Cruises requirements as they may differ. We are continually updating this information. Guests will also be notified of the latest requirements leading up to departure via email. Please be sure to register for a guest account so we have your contact information.

Testing & Screening

Testing and timing of requirements may vary by homeport country and port of embarkation . Be sure you’re aware of both homeport country and Celebrity Cruises vaccine and testing requirements as they may differ. We continually evaluate and update country travel requirements to sail here. Booked guests will also be advised of the latest requirements leading up to their departure.

^{* The test must be supervised by a health professional, such as a doctor, pharmacy technician, public health worker, or telehealth representative.}

Vaccines

COVID-19 Booster Vaccine shots are not currently required to sail on Celebrity Cruises. View Vaccine FAQ's.

NOTICE: Proof of vaccination will be recorded and may be reviewed for signs of fraud. Unauthorized use of an official government agency seal such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention seal is a federal crime, and will be reported to the relevant government authorities.

While On Board

Our enhanced cleaning and sanitization protocols and enhanced medical center set a new industry standard.

100% Fresh, Filtered Air

HVAC system continuously supplies and filters 100% fresh, filtered air to all spaces. You can breathe easy knowing the robust system’s layers of protection make the transmission of aerosol particles between spaces extremely low to virtually impossible.

While Ashore

To minimize COVID-19-related health risks to you, our crew members, and the communities we visit, we monitor the ports of call on your itinerary regularly. We consider several factors when determining if it's safe to leave the ship and go ashore – the prevalence of COVID-19 in the area, whether testing is available, and how easy it is for the locals to get vaccinated.

24/7 Medical Care

We've made our high-quality onboard medical care stronger than ever, with more doctors and nurses on each ship and state-of-the-art equipment enhancements. And in the event of a suspected case of COVID-19, we're fully prepared with medical evaluations, rapid testing, and more critical care on each ship.

Getting Home

Should you test positive for COVID-19 onboard during your cruise, you have access to our onboard medical facilities, and you have the option to stay onboard until you test negative; or, if you prefer to disembark at the end of your sailing, our team will help with information on land-based hotel or commercial flights options.
