At the beginning of this year, the shipping company Tui Cruises introduced that only passengers who can prove three vaccinations against Covid-19 are allowed on board. Now you tilt the practice and consider two stitches again as sufficient.

Irrespective of this, it is still required that two rapid antigen tests must be completed before embarkation. Since cruise ships had developed into veritable corona slingshots in winter 2021/22, the industry was caught in the crossfire of criticism. Several trips by different operators were canceled or canceled in advance.

Tui Cruises responded to this in February 2022 and required the so-called "booster vaccination" as a basic requirement to be able to board. This is now being overturned, but it is recommended that passengers think about their booster vaccination in good time. For almost all journeys you now have to show two negative rapid antigen test results – in addition to proof of vaccination. Of course, the more precise PCR test is also accepted as an alternative. For official reasons, it may happen that a PCR test has to be completed before embarkation in the case of requirements from certain countries. In this case, Tui Cruises will inform the guests in good time.
