Cruise Vaccine Requirements

Before you book your next great luxury voyage, our team suggests looking over your cruise vaccine requirements. Nothing is worse than hitting ‘book’, and then realising afterwards a family member or two cannot come along as they don’t meet the cruise vaccination policy for the trip. Plus, with Governments across the globe changing the cruise vaccination requirements on a seemingly regular basis, it can get quite frustrating determining what you need to do to ensure your luxury holiday goes along without a hitch. Have no fear, our team at Discerning Traveller have collated every premium and luxury operator's cruise vaccine requirements in one nifty table below.

Plan your next voyage stress-free and discover your cruise vaccination requirements

With so many differing cruise vaccine requirements not only locally, but internationally, it’s easy to see why once avid travellers hesitate to book a cruise. That is why we have collected all the cruise vaccination requirements on every luxury cruise operator and placed them all on one easy to digest page. With each cruise line having its own cruise vaccine policy, it is strongly recommended you take the time to read carefully everything you need to do to guarantee your great escape goes by problem-free.

Are vaccines mandatory for cruises?

Like most international travel, any person looking to cruise beyond Australian shores is required to be fully vaccinated and have the correct paperwork to show it. On the other hand, domestic cruises will be entirely dependent on the state you’re sailing from, where it’ll be sailing to, and the cruise line you choose to holiday with. As a general rule of thumb, Discerning Traveller suggests ensuring your entire group is fully vaccinated. This helps avoid awkward situations where the Government makes a snap decision regarding cruise vaccine requirements well after you’ve booked.
