Great news! Regent Cruise ships will be back in the water starting late August! We are your resource for the most up to date information around vaccination & testing requirements, whether you will need a mask, taking shore excursions, and health & safety measurements taken by the cruise line.
Do I need a Vaccine to travel on a Regent Cruise?
All guests and crew must be fully vaccinated, at least 2 weeks prior to embarkation, in order to board.
We do not collect vaccination cards or store proof of vaccination. Those cruise lines that have vaccine requirements to cruise will likely ask for proof at the time of boarding.
Things to know:
- Guest will need to provide proof of vaccination as provided to them at the time of their vacation.
- Regent’s protocols and requirements will evolve to follow the science to make determinations on required as we get closer to sailing dates.
Do I need to wear a mask?
Regent Cruises will operate with 100% fully vaccinated guests and crew, therefore face coverings are not required.
Things to know:
- All guests should carefully review pre-booking and pre-travel health advice on our website and the website of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- Crew members are required to wear a mask or protective visor when in contact with guests.
Can I get off the ship at port?
At this time, we anticipate that guests may travel ashore independently if they choose. This policy will be continually evaluated with our SailSAFE expert council and we will modify requirements accordingly.
Things to know:
- We have developed a thorough mobilization and response plan focused on providing medical treatment, collaborating with local authorities and coordinating safe passage home for all guests and crew should the need arise.
- We are continuously monitoring the health environment across the globe and aim to provide a safe and healthy environment for our guests. We’re partnering with our local destinations and tour operators to extend our comprehensive health & safety protocols to shore.
- We’re partnering with our local destinations and tour operators to provide a safe and healthy environment for our guests. Company sponsored shore excursions will have additional rigorous health and safety protocols in place.
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.
Health & Safety on the Ship
Our concern for your health and well-being begins well before your journey starts and continues each and every day aboard our ships, which feature stringent health and sanitation protocols.
Things to know:
- Comprehensive enhanced cleaning and sanitation protocols have been implemented throughout the cruise experience.
- Our 24/7 prevention schedule features continual disinfection of public areas and high-traffic touch points using EPA-approved disinfectants.
