Scenic Luxury Health & Safety FAQs
Do I need to provide a negative PCR Covid-19 test prior to embarking my cruise?
Scenic requires guests to provide the relevant proof of a negative PCR COVID-19 test (taken within 72 hours of their voyage departure), when boarding the ship.
Do I need to be fully vaccinated to travel?
Scenic Luxury Cruises and Tours will only accept fully vaccinated guests on-board our river ships and on-board Scenic Eclipse. We currently recognise the following vaccines for embarkation. We will also accept a combination of two different vaccines from this list:
- 2 doses BioNTech & Pfizer
- 2 doses Moderna
- 2 doses AstraZeneca
- 1 doses Johnson & Johnson
- 2 doses Sputnik V
- 2 doses Sinopharm / Sinovac
While Scenic can accept these vaccines, guests are responsible for ensuring that countries transited to and from the port of embarkation / disembarkation also accept these vaccines.
Should a guest be in receipt of a vaccination not listed above, but which is approved by their National Health Authority, Scenic will consider acceptance on a case-by-case basis.
Are Booster Vaccinations Required?
The requirement for booster vaccinations is being carefully monitored, however at the time of issue of this document, Scenic does not require booster vaccinations for guests or crew.
We do not collect vaccination cards or store proof of vaccination. Those cruise lines that have vaccine requirements to cruise will likely ask for proof at the time of boarding.
Do I need to wear a mask?
Face masks should be carried by guests at all time. However, are only required to be worn when moving through the ship, where social distancing is not possible. Face masks will be available in guest’s suites and from the Reception desk on board.
Can I get off the ship at port?
While we are planning to operate our schedule of on-shore excursions, they will be conducted according to local Covid-19 requirements and so the following may apply:
- Opening times of venues may be changed
- Group sizes may be changed or adjusted on a daily basis
- There may be other amendments to excursions, due to possible closures, or routing changes etc.
These restrictions are under the control of local government and are subject to change without advance notice, so we encourage guests to come prepared for potential mask requirements ashore.
