• Prior departure: All guests need, additional to the vaccination, a negative antigen rapid test result in digital or on paper dated on the day prior embarkation (max. 24 hours) or on embarkation day.
  For cruises to Belgium you need to fill in the electronic Passenger Locator Form. The generated QR code needs to be shown for going ashore or entering the country. All guests are obligated to fill in the form.
  
  
• Check-in time slot & health questionnaire: There will be time slots for the check-in for each guest, so that there won't be too many people in the terminal at the same time. Your time slot will be given to you with the embarkation informations. Whilst embarkation you will be asked to fill in the health questionnaire. This is mandatory for all guests.
  
  
• COVID-19 vaccination required: All guests need to be fully vaccinated (= starting from day 15 after the last needed dose), a recovery is not sufficient. For the check-in you will need the original vaccination certificate and also the COVID-19 vaccination certificate from the EU with the generated QR code. If your second vaccination is 3 months (high sea cruises) or 4 months (France river cruises) or 9 months (river cruises excluding France) old a booster vaccination is required for embarkation.
  
  
• Antigen rapid tests while cruising: Antigen rapid tests are available on board so that they can be used if needed.
  
  
• Shore excursions: At the moment, individual shore leave is permitted. The regulations change real quick so that it is possible that a shore leave will only be possible if you take advantage of a shore excursion that is organized by the cruise line. If a negative test will be needed for entering some countries, the test will be provided on board or ashore from trained staff.
  
  
• Re-entry into Germany: When entering Germany from abroad, all travelers aged 12 years and older have an obligation to furnish proof of negative testing based on the Ordinance on Coronavirus Entry Regulations. After a stay in a foreign high-risk or virus-variant area within the last 10 days before return, a special registration, verification and quarantine obligation must be observed (high-risk area: proof of vaccination/recovery exempts you from quarantine right after the upload of the proof, proof of testing reduces the minimum quarantine to 5 days, quarantine automatically ends after the fifth day following entry into Germany for children between 6-12 years). Please kindly check the current regulations prior your trip.
  
  
• Recommendation: Pandemic-related changes of test, vaccination or entry requirements may occur shortly prior departure. We recommend to check the current regulations for travelers and returnees in time prior departure.
