Australias ports reopened in April 2022 and cruises have begun sailing to, from and around Australia again.
Due to an increase in COVID-19 cases, from 21 November P&O Australia, Princess Cruises and Carnival Cruise Line have reintroduced mask mandates on Aussie sailings. Masks must be worn in all public indoor spaces. They are not required while eating, drinking or in the privacy of your state room.
Guests must also be fully vaccinated, unless they have a medical exemption. As a rule, at least 95% of guests must be vaccinated.
Before boarding, all passengers 2 years or older must show a negative RAT test within 24-hours of boarding, or a PCR within 48-hours of boarding.
