All guests must have a certified negative COVID antigen test taken no more than 48 hours or a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before embarkation, as opposed to the earlier requirement of the test being taken 24 hours before embarkation. We will continue to liaise with the European Healthy Gateways, CLIA and Greek health authorities, as well as all destinations we visit on our cruises, to ensure that we comply with all of the latest health protocols for the health and safety of our guests, crew and the communities we serve continuing to be our top priority.”
Those who recently recovered from COVID can provide a doctor’s note supplemented with the positive test result corresponding to the date on which the guest has been diagnosed positive and the negative test result corresponding to the date of recovery.
“Following updated guidelines from the European Healthy Gateways, CLIA and Greek health authorities, we are pleased to announce the further relaxation of our health protocols,” said Celestyal Cruises Chief Commercial Officer Leslie Peden. For all sailings from August 26th, 2022, all guests 12 years of age and above must continue to be fully vaccinated, including proof of a booster (if their original vaccine course was completed more than 270 days before embarkation). The more flexible requirements allow our guests to test before departing for Greece and more flexibility when masking onboard.
Celestyal’s health and safety measures are continuously evaluated and adjusted based on new and updated prevention, therapeutics, and mitigation measures. Masks previously mandated in all indoor areas are no longer required but instead highly recommended for indoor areas and outdoors when in large crowds. For citizens of EU countries and countries participating in the EU DCC scheme, an EU DCC (Covid recovery certificate) is required.
Celestyal, the award-winning, number one choice for travellers to the Greek Islands and the Eastern Mediterranean, has announced a relaxed COVID-19 policy.
