Starting September 6, cruisers will no longer need to take a pre-cruise COVID-19 test for most Windstar voyages. Vaccinations are still required.

“Safety and wellness are our first concern, and these new procedures will simplify the process of sailing with us on a fully vaccinated ship,” said Chris Prelog, president of Windstar Cruises.

The exception to the new testing protocols is when sailing from or to countries that still require pre-cruise tests including (but not limited to) Canada, Greece, Australia and New Zealand.
