Since the onset of the pandemic, we’ve been intentional in our approach to mitigating COVID-19. As the public health environment has improved, we’ve adjusted our protocols and remain committed to promoting health and safety during our trips.
Beginning April 1, 2023 for all domestic trips traveling in the United States and May 1, 2023 for all international River Cruise and Private trips, Adventures by Disney and National Geographic Expeditions will no longer require Guests (regardless of age) to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at the time of their trip, however, it is highly recommended. Beginning May 1, 2023, only Guests ages 12 years and older will be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 for all international Land and Expedition cruises, however, it is highly recommended that Guests ages 11 and younger be fully vaccinated before they travel.
Guests will continue to be required to comply with any trip-specific vaccination requirements, including those required by our cruise operators.

Guests who are eligible to receive a COVID-19 booster shot are strongly encouraged to do so in preparation for their travel. Destinations and local laws may have different requirements and definitions of what constitutes full vaccination and may change those requirements on short notice. This may include requiring additional wait time after the full series of doses and a booster before considering someone fully vaccinated. For international trips, local laws will apply, so it is important that you confirm you meet the requirements for the countries on your trip. Guests who are not considered fully vaccinated may be prevented from traveling to certain destinations. Guests will continue to be required to comply with any trip-specific vaccination requirements, including those required by our cruise operators.
