American Queen Voyages no longer requires pre-cruise COVID-19 testing on any sailings.

This policy applies to lakes and oceans and expedition experiences following Canada lifting its testing requirements Oct. 1.

Testing for American Queen Voyages' river cruises was waived earlier this summer.

Vaccination still mandated

The line was the first US-based cruise operator to require 100% passenger and crew COVID vaccination.

Passengers must continue to provide documentation that they are fully vaccinated, as defined by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, prior to embarkation.
