Norway is a very popular destination for cruises. The numerous bays and fjords attract many tourists year after year. But in order to have to go ashore from a ship, a full vaccination against Covid-19 is now required.

The Norwegian government has issued a short-term order that all persons who want to leave cruise ships and enter Norwegian territory must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19. This also applies without exception to children and adolescents, provided that a vaccine has been approved for them. If you cannot be vaccinated because of your age, you can still present a negative test result. However, the child must be accompanied by at least one parent who must be fully vaccinated against Corona.

Proof must be provided by means of digital certificates or the “Cov Pass” app. The major shipping companies have announced that the documents will be checked at check-in at the place of departure. Incidentally, Norway does not recognize evidence of recovery from crusaders.

Entry requirements by air are not particularly strict. Anyone who has been vaccinated or recovered and can prove this with a certificate, preferably digitally, can enter without quarantine. In this case there is also no need to fill out an online form. If you have been tested, you have to fill out an entry registration in advance. The authority carries out mandatory quick tests at the airports. These are free of charge, but participation is mandatory. If the result is negative, you will receive a certificate.
