Grenada has removed all quarantine requirements for fully-vaccinated passengers as of November 15, 2021.
Grenada Ministry of Health said that “passengers will be allowed into Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, once they are fully vaccinated with a World Health Organisation (WHO) approved vaccine no less than two weeks before travel,” according to an article published by Caribbean National Weekly.
Passengers are, however, still required to take a Covid-19 antigen test.
The island is expecting at least 65 cruise calls in the upcoming cruise season after welcoming its first cruise ship call on Tuesday, said the Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA).
It said that the re-opening of the cruise ship sector comes “at a time when travel to the Caribbean holds the most appeal to both the US and European markets due to the warm weather and the multitude of excursion options available on the island,”
It also said that all passengers disembarking from the visiting cruise ships will be 100 per cent vaccinated, except children below the age of 14, and will have to comply with the extremely thorough and rigorous protocols that have been put in place, and that bubbled tours have been implemented for the safety of all.
The return of cruise ships to Grenada’s ports of call will be felt throughout the island, giving a much-needed boost to the local economy including taxi and transportation, tour operators, local craft vendors, artisans and restaurants.
