Masks will again be mandatory on cruise ships in New Zealand and Australia, but only if they are owned by Carnival Corporation.
Carnival Cruises reintroduced a mask mandate for all passengers in response to Australia’s fourth Covid-19 wave.
People will be required to wear masks while indoors during the cruises, in both Australian and New Zealand waters. Passengers will also be required to return a negative Covid test before boarding.
Carnival Corporation owns a number of cruise brands, including P&O Cruises Australia, Princess Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Cunard, Holland America Line, Seabourn and P&O Cruises World Cruising.
