Aida introduces mandatory vaccinations on all cruises in winter.
Even recovery is no longer sufficient, and unvaccinated children are not allowed on some trips.
Cruise operators are getting stricter and stricter when it comes to their corona rules.
A few weeks ago, Hapag Lloyd announced that it would only take vaccinated guests on all trips from September.
Passengers are also required to be vaccinated on some Tui Cruises routes.
Aida is now following suit with stricter rules: Only those who are fully vaccinated are allowed on the winter cruises - on some routes the vaccination is even mandatory for children under the age of twelve.
Aida cruises: Complete vaccination protection for all guests on trips to the Caribbean, the Orient and Norway
However, there is no big announcement about it, the information can only be found on the website by experienced visitors, as
reisevor9.de
criticizes. There, “
complete vaccination protection for all guests of all ages
” is
required
on the
Caribbean, Orient and Norway trips
. In addition, all guests must undergo a Covid 19 test. The
travel of unvaccinated children and adolescents as well as for recovered guests without vaccination protection is not possible
, it is said. The background for the strict regulations on the Aida trips is likely to be primarily the vaccination regulations at the holiday destinations. Tui Cruises recently introduced compulsory vaccinations for trips to the Caribbean and the Orient.

Aida: Complete vaccination protection for all guests over 12 years of age in Europe
Aida Cruises also informs on the website that on European trips,
complete vaccination protection
is required
for all guests aged 12 and over
.
Younger guests can also present a negative corona test.
Recovered guests without vaccination protection are not allowed here either.
An exception to the compulsory vaccination does not apply on the trips "Winter in the far north" and "Norway's coast" with the AIDAsol, as Norwegian authorities require all guests of all ages to be vaccinated.
Therefore, unvaccinated children and those who have recovered without vaccination are not allowed here either.
