SilverSea Cruises health and safety protocols

SilverSea Cruises tries to find an individual approach in everything! All this is done in order to protect our guests as much as possible and at the same time provide the most comfortable conditions for traveling.

Review the health and safety protocols before booking your cruise.

VACCINATION

All guests must be vaccinated.

SilverSea Cruises accepts vaccines fully approved by the World Health Organization.

BEFORE CRUISE

You have booked a cruise with a representative of SilverSea Cruises in Ukraine and are preparing for your unforgettable trip!

What is important to know before a cruise on one of the SilverSea Cruises ships and what to do before the cruise:

All guests must be vaccinated with a World Health Organization-approved vaccine.

See World Health Organization approved vaccines

All doses of your vaccine must be from the same manufacturer and type (e.g. mRNA) in the required number of doses to be considered complete (e.g. 2 doses of Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, etc. or 1 injection of Johnson & Johnson vaccine) . The guest is considered fully vaccinated 14 days after vaccination is completed.

Vaccine policy is subject to change as we monitor the evolution of public health guidelines and government regulations. Therefore, we will share the latest information 30 days before your departure date, giving you the most up-to-date information about your trip.

A copy of the vaccination certificate must be uploaded to My Silversea. A certificate of vaccination or a printed copy must also be presented at the time of check-in and boarding.

Permits to enter the country/countries.

Depending on the route and country of arrival, you will need to complete and provide additional permits. Each country has its own requirements and the name of this form. As a rule, this is a PLF form, which is filled out online.

But don't worry, your FOUR GATES cruise expert will help you complete all the forms quickly and conveniently!

Landing is free for all SilverSea Cruises guests (unless the visiting country has imposed additional restrictions).

All shore excursions will comply with Silversea's health and safety measures.

IMPROVED AIR FILTRATION

Our ships are equipped with top class medical air filters (MERV 13 or HPA according to HVAC standards). On each of the liners, ventilation and air conditioning systems provide fresh, filtered outside air to all rooms. This process ensures that air is constantly removed from the liner and fresh, purified sea air is pumped in.

MEDICAL SERVICES

Increased staff of doctors and nurses, as well as improved equipment with the latest technology. In addition, an infection control officer was additionally assigned to each liner, who is responsible for compliance with all sanitary measures. Our multi-layered COVID-19 expert response plan has been developed and approved by the Healthy Sail Panel to contain the outbreak if a positive case is confirmed. These protocols include methods for tracing and notifying those who may have been exposed, as well as dedicated isolation and quarantine zones.
