Oceania yesterday updated their policy on their website to say that masks are now required at all times onboard. I searched online to confirm or deny the "EU regulations" and could not find this new mandate.
Can anyone shed some light on this topic? We embark Marina next Thursday in Trieste, Italy.
Thank you in advance!
Here is the updated link:
FACE MASK REQUIREMENTS
For all voyages embarking from European gateways, EU regulations mandate that all guests must wear face masks at all times when outside of their stateroom or suite except when actively eating or drinking. For voyages that call in Italian ports, Italian regulations mandate that guests wear a medical grade KN95 or FFP2 face mask.
For voyages that embark and sail outside of Europe (Polynesia, Mexico, Alaska, Canada, etc) face coverings remain optional for guests. We continue to strongly recommend that all guests wear face coverings when outside of their accommodations. Our Officers and Crew will continue to remain masked at all times.
We strongly recommend all guests travel with an adequate supply of medical grade masks, commonly known as surgical masks or KN-95 masks. Should you require additional masks while traveling, all ships will be adequately stocked. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Please note: this guidance is subject to change as the global health map evolves.
