YOUR CLIENTS’ HEALTH
IS OUR TOP PRIORITY

Vaccine Requirement

• All guests age 18 years and older must have completed all doses of their COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days before sailing.
• Guests younger than 18 years don’t need to be vaccinated — but if they are, they can follow the testing guidance for fully vaccinated guests.

Testing Requirement

Before Your clients Travel To Cyprus
• Vaccinated guests who hold a valid vaccination certificate from the public authorities of the countries listed here, will be able to travel to the Republic of Cyprus without the need for a test.
• Unvaccinated guests ages 12 to 17 years old, will need to arrange and take a RT-PCR test at their own expense no more than 72 hours before arriving in Cyprus. This test is required by the government of Cyprus to enter the country. Depending on the country of residence classification (e.g. green, amber or red), guests may require additional testing on arrival at the airport in Cyprus at their own expense. Please review your clients country’s entry requirements when travelling to Cyprus.

Boarding Day In Cyprus

• Unvaccinated guests that decide to extend their stay in Cyprus after the cruise or live in Cyprus may be required to take a test upon debark at their own expense and in some instances may need to quarantine if the stay is longer than 3 nights, with a secondary PCR test at the end of quarantine. These requirements will depend on the categorisation of Greece (as our port of call) by the Government of Cyprus.
• A small number of guests may be selected at random by the Cyprus Health Authorities and asked to complete and additional PCR test after disembarking the cruise. Impacted guests will be notified once onboard the cruise, there is no charge for the test.

All guests are subject to restrictions and requirements as defined by local authorities in the ports we visit. Additional details will be provided onboard. The decision was made to protect you and the communities we visit.
