Ambassador Cruise Line has advised that pre-departure Covid-19 testing will not be required on most sailings* from 3 April onwards. The company’s policy remains to follow the guidance set out by the EU Healthy Gateways recommendations, and it has made this change after careful consideration and discussions with its independent advisors and London Port Health Authority.
In line with the updated policy, adult guests who have received two doses only of a UK-approved vaccine will now be able to freely travel, with no requirement for guests under the age of 18 to have been vaccinated. Guests displaying Covid-19 symptoms within 72 hours of departure are encouraged to take a test at home as a courtesy to their fellow travellers and to contact their travel insurance provider if results are positive.
Guests testing positive will be required to self-isolate until they have tested negative for two consecutive days, and, while social distancing and mask-wearing remains at our guest’s discretion, the cruise line politely requests that measures continue to be respected and adhered to where possible.
The update to Ambassador’s Covid-19 policy has been shared with all guests due to sail with the cruise line, with the company also advising its trade and agency partners accordingly.
Ambassador will closely monitor cases on board and reserves the right to update the conditions of travel including the re-introduction of pre-departure testing if it has any concerns. For full terms and conditions, please visit www.ambassadorcruiseline.com/
