• Proof of COVID-19 vaccination protection required (Asia + Transatlantic voyages Caribbean <-> Europe): All guests 12 years and older (Asia) or 18 years and older (Transatlantic) need a COVID-19 vaccination proof (= double vaccination with at least 14 full days interval before travel start; recovery + vaccination with validity from the day of vaccination; vaccination + recovery from the 29th day after the positive test). For Asia voyages, a recovery is only accepted in conjunction with a single Johnson & Johnson vaccination; all other vaccines must also have been given with a recovery twice. The recovery status is not recognized in Japan, so vaccination-only travel is accepted. Accepted vaccines are Comirnaty/BioNtech/Pfizer, Spikevax/Moderna, COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen/Johnson & Johnson, Vaxzevria from AstraZeneca, Novavax, Covaxin/BBV152 (Bharat Biotech), Covilo (Sinopharm) and CoronaVac (Sinovac); cross-vaccination is also possible according to RKI. The complete vaccination status must be presented by means of the COVID certificate of the EU and must be carried on the entire trip.
  
  
• COVID-19 tests prior departure mandatory (Asia + unvaccinated guests Central America): All guests 4 years of age and older require a certified rapid antigen test (max. 24 hours prior to departure for Singapore; max. 24 hours prior to entry for Hong Kong -> proof must be in English and kept for 90 days; same-day test for Central America -> guests with a recovery are considered vaccinated only with a single Johnson & Johnson vaccination; for stopovers/pre-stays max. 24 hours before cruise check-in).
  
  
• Possibly additional COVID-19 during the voyage (all cruises): If additional tests are required for unvaccinated additional, these will be at your own expense (approx. 25 € per test).
