Celestyal Cruises Removes Covid-19 Protocols for 2023 Season

Celestyal Cruises on Wednesday announced the removal of its Covid-19 vaccination, proof of Covid recovery and pre-departure testing requirements for all guests on sailings commencing on or after 2 March 2023 unless required by Greek health authorities.

All Celestyal crew members will continue to be fully vaccinated, and the company encourages guests aged 12 and over to be fully vaccinated. Regardless of vaccination status, Celestyal will continue to recommend that all guests departing from any port get tested at leisure prior to travel to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience. These results will not be required to board the vessel.

“The health and safety of our guests, crew and the communities we serve is our top priority and we continue to monitor and adjust to the evolving global situation.” said Celestyal Cruises Chief Commercial Officer Leslie Peden.

Celestyal’s health and safety measures are continuously evaluated and adjusted based on new and updated prevention, therapeutics and mitigation measures.

“Our crew will continue to maintain our stringent hygiene protocols based upon the most up-to-date guidelines from the European Healthy Gateways, CLIA and Greek health authorities. We look forward to welcoming all guests for the immersive experience that we are known for and explore the unique destinations of the Greek Islands and Eastern Mediterranean,” Peden added.

For the remainder of Celestyal’s 2022 sailings, the company is maintaining its relaxed Covid-19 protocols.
