It comes after the lines’ UK sister brands P&O Cruises and Cunard also relaxed their Covid testing rules.

Unvaccinated passengers will need to show a negative test result taken within three days of departure at the time of embarkation.

The changes will come into effect on 6 September – the same date P&O Cruises and Cunard will remove their testing mandates for fully vaccinated passengers on shorter sailings.
