Under updated rules issued on Thursday (8 July), the DfT said companies “with a Covid-19 vaccination policy in place” could sail vessels half full.
Lines not requiring passengers to be double jabbed must remain at the previous cap of up to 1,000 passengers or 50% capacity, whichever is lower.
The DfT added that by 19 July, “the government hopes to remove all legal limits on social contact” – including removing guidance concerning capacity for domestic cruises.
