Celestyal Cruises has updated its COVID-19 policy. From 26th August 2022, all guests aged 12 years and above must continue to be fully vaccinated including proof of a booster.
A booster applies if their original vaccine course was completed more than 270 days prior to embarkation.
All guests are required to have a certified negative COVID antigen test taken no more than 48 hours prior to embarkation or a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours prior to embarkation.
Those who recently recovered from COVID can provide a doctor’s note supplemented with the positive test result corresponding to the date of diagnosis and the negative test result corresponding to the date of recovery.
For citizens of EU countries and countries participating in the EU DCC scheme, an EU DCC (Covid recovery certificate) is required.
Masks, which were previously mandated in all indoor areas, are no longer required but instead highly recommended for indoor areas and outdoors when in large crowds.
Celestyal Cruises’ Chief Commercial Officer, Leslie Peden, said: “In accordance with updated guidelines from the European Healthy Gateways, CLIA and Greek health authorities, we are pleased to announce the further relaxation of our health protocols.
“The more flexible requirements provide our guests with the option of testing prior to departing for Greece as well as more flexibility when it comes to masking onboard.
“We will continue to liaise with the European Healthy Gateways, CLIA and Greek health authorities, as well as all destinations we visit on our cruises, to ensure that we are in compliance with all of the latest health protocols with the health and safety of our guests, crew and the communities we serve continuing to be our top priority.”
