The country’s government has confirmed it will not extend its current ban on international vessels arriving and departing from Australia ports, which expires on April 17.
Additional measures to reduce the risk of Covid-19 infection will be implemented, such as enhanced pre-arrival health screening of passengers, stress testing the emergency response system in relation to cruises and increased engagement with the cruise industry.
All passengers will be required to be double vaccinated. Vessels will still need to meet all state and territory public health requirements of the jurisdiction into which they dock.
