Health and Safety FAQs for All Guests
Do I need a Booster Vaccine to travel on a Regent Cruise?
- Guests should ensure they receive their “booster” prior to travelling to the ship, or have an accepted Certificate of Recovery, or you will be unable to board.
- The “booster” is considered to be effective immediately, so it may be administered as late as the day of embarkation, though we strongly advise to have it completed before in advance of your travels.
- For all sailings which include a Mediterranean port, per the EU Healthy Gateway’s current definition of “Fully Vaccinated”, any guest whose primary COVID-19 vaccination will be beyond 270 days at the time of disembarkation from their voyage must either:
- Have a COVID-19 “booster” prior to embarkation, OR;
- Present a government recognized or official medical Certificate of Recovery which proves a person has had a COVID-19 infection less than six months before disembarkation. Acceptable certificates include:
- For European Citizens, an EU Green Pass or comparable certificate.
- For all other guests unable to present an EU Green Pass, a doctor’s note PLUS a laboratory confirmed PCR test result with the proper information displayed (i.e. Name, Date, Date of Birth, Positive Result, Country of test, Certificate issuer, Date of Certificate Expiration).
Do I need to wear a mask?
The health and safety of our guests, crew and communities we visit is our number one priority. At this time, face coverings are required for all crew and we require that guests, and will continue to be updated as protocols evolve and change.
- Wear face coverings onboard while indoors, except when actively eating or drinking or when in their suite.
- Wear face coverings whenever a crewmember is present in their suite.
- Wear face coverings outdoors when social distancing is not possible.
- Adhere to local regulations when visiting ports of call.
- Our face covering policy is mandatory and will be strictly enforced.
Can I explore on my own while in port?
Delivering the best experience for guests is always a top priority, and after working closely with destination partners, Regent anticipates that guests will be free to explore certain ports of call on their own. Please keep in mind that this is largely dependent on the local health authorities and the evolving regulations, which are subject to change.
It is highly recommend to take company organized shore excursions as a more controlled environment for you to enjoy your time in each of the destinations.
These restrictions are under the control of local government and are subject to change without advance notice, so we encourage guests to come prepared for potential mask requirements ashore.
