Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) on Monday announced some significant changes to its pre-cruise COVID-19 protocols, including testing and vacation requirements.

Unvaccinated guests 12 and older, or those who cannot provide proof of vaccination, will be required to take a PCR or Antigen test taken no more than 72 hours prior to boarding.
Guests 11 and under will now not be forced to either show proof of vaccination or test prior to their sailing.
The changes are for all sailings and all lengths of cruises except for Canada, Bermuda, and Greece itineraries, along with others that have local regulations guests must abide by.
“Our long-awaited revisions to our testing and vaccination requirements bring us closer in line with the rest of society, which has learned to adapt and live with COVID-19, and makes it simpler and easier for our loyal guests to cruise on our three best-in-class brands. Health and safety is our top priority and we will continue to modify our robust SailSAFE program as the public health environment evolves,” said Frank Del Rio, President and Chief Executive Officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.
“放松协议的放松,再加上旅行限制的持续放松以及在全球更多港口巡游的重新开放对我们的业务有意义的是有意义的,因为它可以减少摩擦,扩大可寻址的邮轮市场,并为行程提供多样性,并提供更多的催化剂,并提供更多的催化剂。恢复道路。”
NCLH was one the first cruise companies to drop COVID-19 requirements where it could—in early July it announcedit would stop requiring pre-cruise COVID-19 testing unless required by local regulations. However, that change didn’t affect U.S.-based cruise itineraries or cruises in Canada, Greece, and Bermuda.
