Guests travelling from overseas to join a cruise departing from Australia must ensure they are able to meet the Australian government entry requirements. Guests should also ensure that they understand any requirements, including any testing requirements, to return to their home country following their cruise.
Guests from overseas should ensure the vaccination course they have received is approved or recognised by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
If a guest is required to isolate during their cruise due to testing positive for COVID-19, P&O Cruises can assist in arranging suitable accommodation ashore for the remainder of the isolation period, if required. Any accommodation costs and any other expenses incurred from needing to change post-cruise travel arrangements will be the responsibility of the guest unless local authorities require otherwise. We strongly recommend guests obtain appropriate international travel insurance that may cover costs associated with changes to travel arrangements.
Guests travelling from overseas should also ensure that their travel insurance provides cover for COVID-19 related medical care. If ongoing medical treatment is required after disembarkation, any associated costs will be incurred by the guest.
