Royal Caribbean International will not require guests to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 on certain sailings from next month.

Guests will only be asked to disclose their vaccination status during check-in but it will not be mandatory for boarding

From 5 September, passengers sailing on all European cruises and select US ports – Los Angeles, Galveston, New Orleans – will only be asked to disclose their vaccination status during check-in but it will not be mandatory in order to board.

The line’s pre-cruise testing protocols will remain the same. 

Royal said it recommends all eligible guests are fully vaccinated and advised passengers to bring proof of vaccination with them should local authorities or businesses in certain destination ask to see it.
