Important information for your cruise: (Last update: 10th February 2023)

• COVID-19 vaccination: All guests are kindly asked to ensure they comply with the country-specific entry requirement from which their ship/cruise begins. EU regulations specify that a vaccination certificate is considered valid when no more than 270 days have passed from the last dose of the primary vaccine series, OR if the individual has received a booster dose. If the date on your vaccine certificate exceeds 270 days from the last dose of the primary vaccine series and you do not have a booster, the vaccine certificate is no longer considered valid, and individuals are considered unvaccinated. Guests will need to follow the below “unvaccinated guests testing requirements”. Accepted vaccines are those indicated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or by the World Health Organization (WHO).
  
  Important: Whilst the EU allows EMA vaccines for tourist entry into countries, please remember only guests with vaccines approved by the WHO will be permitted to board the ship.
  Please note that local requirements will include far more demanding and restrictive protocols if you are considered an unvaccinated individual; therefore, Silversea strongly recommends that all guests joining the vessels have a valid vaccine certificate.
  
  
• Testing prior embarkation: Guests embarking on a Silversea vessel with a valid vaccine certificate (as defined above) are no longer required to present a negative PCR or Antigen test result.
  Guests with a valid vaccine certificate must bring their proof of vaccination to the ship. Guests who do not present their valid vaccine certificate will be required to take a COVID-19 test, as stated below. They will also be subject to more demanding and restrictive protocols during the voyage.
  If guests have an invalid vaccine certificate or do not have any vaccines they are classed as unvaccinated. Unvaccinated guests must present proof of a valid Antigen negative test result performed within 48 hours of embarkation or proof of a valid PCR negative test result performed within 72 hours of embarkation. The test may be administered by a verified third party, either a laboratory or pharmacy OR A self-test at home, verified by a third party (telehealth provider, pharmacy or laboratory). The Certificate must contain the guest’s name (as shown on the cruise ticket), as well as the date of test, and result. You must provide a digital or printed proof upon embarkation.
