Holland America Line drops pre-cruise testing
Will PayneHolland America Line (HAL) has removed the need for guests on "most voyages" to take a pre-cruise Covid-19 test, regardless of their vaccination status.
Effective immediately, unvaccinated guests sailing on “standard protocol” voyages will no longer need a test prior to disembarkation.
Guests will also not have to provide evidence of vaccination unless they are required to do so by a destination.
"Our guests continue to show their excitement to return to cruising, and this is another step toward making it as easy as possible for them to safely explore the world in a way they love," said Gus Antorcha, president of HAL.
"Standard protocol" voyages now also include Panama Canal transits up to 15 nights and guests on "enhanced protocol" voyages will be provided additional information about protocols based on ports visited.
