Vacations To Go

Dear Mr. Sterling,

Last week, Norwegian, Oceania and Regent became the first cruise lines to welcome unvaccinated passengers on their ships and now Carnival, Celebrity, Holland America, Princess, Royal Caribbean and Seabourn have announced policies that also will allow unvaccinated passengers to cruise.

To view all sailings for any cruise line that welcomes unvaccinated travelers of all ages, click the cruise line name:

Carnival Cruise Line
Celebrity Cruises
Holland America
Norwegian Cruise Line
Oceania Cruises
Princess Cruises
Regent Cruises
Royal Caribbean Cruise Line
Seabourn

To keep you abreast of all the latest cruise line policies, we have compiled a summary of pre-cruise testing and vaccination protocols organized by cruise line. You can find them on our home page under the link entitled "Relaxed Vaccination & Testing Rules" or by clicking here.

Finally, if you're holding a future cruise credit (FCC) from a previous cancellation, you can use it on any sailing offered by Vacations To Go (on the same cruise line that issued the FCC) regardless of whether the original cruise was booked through Vacations To Go.

We will keep you up-to-date as cruise line policies change over time.

This week, I'm pleased to tell you about money-saving offers we've arranged with 12 different cruise lines. In addition to deep discounts, these offers may include free amenities or shipboard credits, which are as good as cash on the ship and can be used toward onboard purchases not covered in the cruise fare, like shore excursions and internet packages.
