Which Cruise Lines Are Allowing Unvaccinated Guests to Sail?
At long last, cruise lines are finally starting to drop their vaccine mandates and allow all passengers — inoculated or not — to sail on their ships. The big question is, what cruise lines allow unvaccinated guests to sail?
It can be confusing to keep track of which lines require what, and in which regions unvaccinated guests can sail if there are still destination limitations. With that in mind, we’ve put together this list of cruise lines allowing unvaccinated guests to sail, as well as what the other lines currently require regarding vaccinations.
