The Foreign & Commonwealth Office today came down strongly against cruise ship travel at this time due to the ongoing pandemic and based on medical advice from Public Health England.

It stated that the Government would continue to review its cruise ship travel advice based on the latest medical advice.

“If you have future cruise travel plans, you should speak to your travel operator, or the travel company you booked with, for further advice,” it added.

The FCO’s previous advice in March said Britons  aged over 70  and those with underlying health conditions should not travel on cruise ships.

The FCO added: “This advice is being kept under constant review. Travel disruption is still possible and national control measures may be brought in with little notice, so check our travel guidance.”
