While Ashore
To minimize COVID-19-related health risks to you, our crew members, and the communities we visit, we monitor the ports of call on your itinerary regularly. We consider several factors when determining if it’s safe to leave the ship and go ashore – the prevalence of COVID-19 in the area, whether testing is available, and how easy it is for locals to get vaccinated.
