Travel Requirements

As the UK and Europe has reopened it’s important to be aware of the latest official travel advice, including the entry and testing requirements for your destination.  Travel restrictions can change frequently and so it’s important that you check the official Government sites before booking and before you travel to ensure you have the most up-to-date information and advice. We have provided the links to these Government sites below. 

 

Prior to travel please ensure you have all of the required Covid-19 documentation to enter the country you are travelling to, as without it you may be unable to travel.  It is your responsibility to ensure that you have all of the required documentation for all passengers travelling.

 

Your wellbeing is our top priority.  Read more about our enhanced safety measures here on our Sail Safe page.
