However nowhere in the restrictions being lifted, does it mention cruise ships - that is under a totally different Order In Council.

 

At the moment it appears that there are no changes to Covid requirements for cruise travellers.

It does address cruise travel in this government news release. And they are also being dropped.

In the link I can see this paragraph 

“Cruise measures are also being lifted, and travellers will no longer be required to have pre-board tests, be vaccinated, or use ArriveCAN. A set of guidelines will remain to protect passengers and crew, which will align with the approach used in the United States.”

 

however it seems still confusing as certain links still refer to pre testing. Maybe the “links” have not been updated yet???

Wonder when the US will drop their final travel restrictions (we are all vaccinated, but still wonder).

Does anybody know : 

coming from Germany to Canada without being vaccinated- not a problem any more. 
But are we allowed to get on a cruise ship in Vanvouver and go to Alaska ?

To get in a cruise ship in Europe is not a problem for us any more, but have the Alaska cruise für may 2023 left (as a rebooking from a rebooking from a rebooking). Don’t want to book flights before knowing if we can get on the ship 😞

Although the  Canadian government has eliminated its COVID protocol for boarding ships in Canada, cruise lines can set their own policies.  This summer and autumn we took two voyages on Cunard (one from Vancouver and one from Québec City) and Cunard's requirements were more strict than Canada's that were in effect at that time.

 

May is a long way off. I'm sure I don't have to tell you to keep checking with the cruise line as changes can occur at any time.

Thanks 

It is a HAL cruise.

To get on board you do not have to be vaccinated or tested normally.

I wrote them and have to wait for an answer so far.

„Problem“ will be to go to US ports….
