arkansastraveler Posted July 19, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Has anyone seen any indication that Oceania has facilities to do on board COVID testing similar to what Viking is doing? I believe a negative test would be needed to return to the US. I would prefer to have that in hand when departing from the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t be a problem - we are aboard Seabourn Ovation next week - they will test us at embarkation and again a day before departure to the US.

Rare msn123 Posted July 19, 2021 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2021 When I spoke to customer service a week or so ago, they said they would have everything needed for return to the US and compliance with countries being visited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hehny Posted July 21, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Viking advertises itself as the only cruise line with onboard PCR testing facilities. Oceania vaguely refers to onboard viral testing but I can’t get any specifics. They are offering it for disembarkation, but they may send it out. I am sure we’ll get more reports once cruises reopen next month. Edited July 21, 2021 by hehny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be too hard for them to set up a half dozen or so PCR machines. The cost is cheap, about $1000 for each one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
