Windstar Cruises is discontinuing its mandate for a pre-cruise COVID-19 test, unless required by one of the destinations on an itinerary.

This takes effect with cruises embarking Sept. 6.

Some countries where testing still required

Some of the countries that still require testing include Canada, Greece, Australia and New Zealand (subject to change).

Vaccination mandate continues

All passengers still need to be fully vaccinated and show proof of that.

Windstar said all its crew are fully vaccinated and nearly all have received booster shots.
