Some federal states have issued an accommodation ban for travelers from inner-German risk areas.
But what is true on the cruise ship?
Since the number of corona cases in numerous German regions * has risen above the limit of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants, there has been chaos in the travel industry again.
First of all, there should be a nationwide
ban on accommodation
in restaurants and hotels for travelers from the affected areas - but now some federal states have overturned these regulations.
But what about cruise travel?
Do travelers from risk areas have to worry about their vacation here?
Cruise vacation: How should travelers from risk areas behave?
At least the tour operator TUI Cruises has made its position clear in this regard: When the new travel dates for the 2020 winter season were announced, the shipping company stated that holidaymakers from risk areas would not have to worry.
“Due to the requirements of individual federal states, hoteliers are currently forced to turn their guests away.
TUI Cruises offers autumn holidays for guests from all federal states, ”reads a press release.
“There are
no restrictions for guests from national risk areas
when booking a cruise
.
Anyone who lives in an area that has currently been declared a risk area or that could be declared a risk area at short notice can still spend their autumn holidays on board. "
Inspiration for the next cruise
Even if you no longer want to go on a cruise trip for this trip, you can easily bring that feeling home with a wall calendar (promotional link).
Although the statements currently relate to the autumn holidays, it is very likely that the shipping company will do the same in winter for the time being.
A
Covid quick test
, which should be carried out directly in the port terminal
on arrival, is a prerequisite for being taken on the cruise ship despite traveling from the risk area
.
The costs for the corona test are included in the travel price.
