Bermuda Drops Testing Requirements

Bermuda has announced that they will no longer require testing for cruise passengers beginning October 25, 2022. Health insurance requirements will remain the same.

 Please be mindful that at this time, not all cruise lines websites are updated with the below information. It is important to continue referencing the cruise line websites for specific health and safety guidelines.

 Statement

All Cruise travellers arriving October 25, 2022, onwards will no longer require a pre-travel test, arrival test or a day 4 test. Unvaccinated non-resident travellers will still be required to upload valid proof of travel health insurance to enter Bermuda.

Personal Note:

This news came too late for our Transatlantic cruise.   Celebrity Cruises Celebrity Beyond was scheduled to stop in Bermuda enroute from Barcelona to New Jersey.  The port of call was changed to another sea day and the ports in Spain expanded due to the testing requirements that were still in effect prior to the cruise.

CDC Update on Masks and Shore Excursions

 

Today the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) made updates to its COVID-19 Operations Manual for Simulated and Restricted Voyages under the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order.

With these updates from CDC, the cruise lines are closer to having their clarifying questions answered.

Mask Use - Fully Vaccinated Travelers:

• Cruise ship operators, at their discretion, may advise passengers and crew that—if they are fully vaccinated—they may gather or conduct activities outdoors, including engaging in extended meal service or beverage consumption, without wearing a mask except in crowded settings.

 

Shore Excursions - Fully Vaccinated Travelers:

• Cruise ship operators, at their discretion, may advise passengers and crew that—if they are fully vaccinated—they may engage in self-guided or independent exploration during port stops, if they wear a mask while indoors. The cruise ship operator is additionally advised that foreign jurisdictions may have their own requirements.
