Azamara has confirmed it will remove its Covid-19 vaccination requirement from December 1, 2022.

The rule change applies to any Caribbean and European sailings, unless local regulations state passengers must be fully-jabbed.

The line said it would “continue to encourage all guests departing from any port to get tested at leisure prior to travel to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience”.

From July 25, Azamara lifted the embarkation testing requirement but added testing would continue on ships when needed.

President Carol Cabezas said: “The safety of our guests and crew is our top priority and we have continued to closely monitor the evolving global situation.

“Azamara continues to implement the highest safety measures in accordance with the local health authorities and the current positive direction of the travel industry.

“We look forward to many being able to sail with us for the immersive cruising experience that we are known for and explore the wonderful destinations the Azamara way.”

Crew will continue to be fully vaccinated and wear face coverings while onboard, Azamara said.
