Seabourn & Holland America Announces Vaccine and Testing Changes

Following Holland America’s vaccine and testing requirement updates yesterday, sister line Seabourn announced the same changes.

Starting September 6, unvaccinated travelers will now be welcomed on voyages 15 nights or shorter, as long as they take a test within three days of the sail date. Vaccinated guests will no longer need to take a test ahead of sailing on cruises 15 nights or less.

Itineraries that include ports in Canada, Greece, and Australia don’t apply to these changes.

On voyages 16 nights or longer, plus full Panama Canal transits and transocean cruises, guests five and older continue to have a vaccine mandate, and must take a test within three days of embarkation to sail.
