The move to upgrade its advice against cruises was announced on the FCO website on Thursday (9 July). TTG understands the advice includes all cruises and is based on Public Health England’s assessment.
“The Foreign & Commonwealth Office advises against cruise ship travel at this time. This is due to the ongoing pandemic and is based on medical advice from Public Health England,” said the FCO in an updated statement.
“The government will continue to review its cruise ship travel advice based on the latest medical advice. If you have future cruise travel plans, you should speak to your travel operator, or the travel company you booked with, for further advice.
