The company willl require all adult passengers to have been vaccinated and those under 18 years of age to have a negative PCR test.
Moreover, other cruise lines, such as MSC Cruises and Disney Cruise Line, plan to enter the UK market requiring negative testing but not mandatory vaccinations.
Celebrity plans to have one of its ships, the Celebrity Silhouette, cruising from Southampton starting July 3. As for MSC, its cruise program is set to launch May 20 with short cruises from Southampton, while Disney Cruise Line also plans to return its first cruise ship to service with the Disney Magic sailing round-trip cruises from Tilbury, Newcastle, Liverpool, and Southampton.
These are the most recent programs that have been announced, and which now join P&O, Princess Cruises, Fred. Olsen, Saga, and Viking, which have already announced cruises for the summer UK vacation season.
