Health and safety measures
Passengers and crew must present a valid PCR or lateral flow test taken up to 72 hours before arrival to be able to disembark.
Daryanani remarked, ‘I have now written to all the cruise lines that normally call at Gibraltar and others I would like to attract or welcome back, to let them know that we are open for business again.
‘I am committed to rebuilding this important source of revenue for our tourism, retail, leisure and hospitality industry and we look forward to welcoming cruise ships and their passengers and crew to Gibraltar.’
Pre-planning sees travel agents prepared
Daryanani claimed there have been talks with cruise lines ‘for a while’ on resuming sailings, with cruise companies carrying out work around on board testing and screening facilities that support health protocols.
Local shore excursion agents and shipping agents are prepared.
Successful vaccine
‘Thanks to the assistance offered by the government in the UK, the population of Gibraltar is fully vaccinated, making us one of the safest destinations in Europe to travel to at present,’ concluded Daryanani.
