Great news! Costa Cruises is currently sailing! We are your resource for the most up to date information around vaccination & testing requirements, whether you will need a mask, taking shore excursions, and health & safety measurements taken by the cruise line.
Do I need a vaccine to travel on a Costa Cruise?
At this time, Costa Cruise Lines has not made a decision as to whether it will require passengers to have a Covid-19 vaccine to cruise.
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.
Things to know:
- At the boarding terminal, you will need to take a quick health screening, which includes body temperature control and a Covid diagnostic test (swab)Please note that these guidelines are subject to change.
Do I need to wear a mask?
Costa will require protective masks (surgical or higher protection masks) must be worn when in public areas while on board.
Things to know:
- The crew will also have the necessary protective equipment to be able to do their job to the highest health standards.
Can I get off the ship at port?
In order to protect your health Costa requires all guests to purchase one of their safe shore excursions to get off the ship.
Things to know:
- Costa excursions have new procedures to ensure social distancing, thanks to limited group size and the use of disposable headphones to make for a better experience.
- Costa buses are sanitized after every use and will have reduced occupancy.
- Additional health screenings may be required by local health officials before disembarkation in certain ports
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.
Health & Safety on the Ship
All Costa ships are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized prior to every voyage, consistently and frequently throughout your sailing, with disinfecting cleaning agents and techniques that have been certified by health authorities as effective against SARS-Cov-2 (coronavirus).
The Costa dining experience will be changed to eliminate person-to-person contact while maintaining the delicious and elegant experiences guests enjoy by having tables spaced out, extended meal times and smartphone menus.
Things to know:
- Public areas are sanitized several times a day with new disinfection methods including virus-killing nebulizers
- Your cabin is also subject to a virus-killing disinfection carried out by qualified personnel and is cleaned and sanitized on a daily basis
- On board ship, the air you breathe is of high quality thanks to the new high efficiency filters. Our on-board ventilation systems offer optimal filtering of fresh air from outside, minimizing the circulation of internal air.
