2cruisecats Posted September 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 30, 2023 For our upcoming December cruise, the following is noted from the cruise line -- "Dated proof of a negative COVID-19 test to satisfy Australia's cruise travel requirement. While there is not a COVID-19 testing requirement to enter Australia, the Australian states included in your voyage have a pre- embarkation testing requirement for all cruise travel." Is this still true? I have searched and the info is confusing. After a few weeks visiting NZ we will fly to Sydney & sail to Melbourne,Tasmania and other ports. If required, the challenge is finding a place in Sydney to get tested in the 48 hours before boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted September 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Maybe ask on the two Australia boards: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/564-australia-new-zealand-cruisers/ https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/48-australia-amp-new-zealand/ Last I heard you didn't have to test.

Thanks! Yes they have an update but I might also confirm with Viking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceeceeDee Posted October 1, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 1, 2023 At this point, the requirement for pre-cruise testing has been lifted. Should this change (unlikely, but who knows?) a RAT test within 24 hours of embarkation is sufficient. You can purchase one at any chemist so it shouldn't be a big deal for you to obtain a kit.
