Passenger Locator Form.

Our guide to completing the UK Government Passenger Locator Form (PLF).

UK travel requirements are subject to change. To ensure you are compliant with the UK Government’s guidance on re-entering the UK, please check the latest information on the UK Government website.

The UK Government requires anyone entering the UK to complete a Passenger Locator Form (PLF). Guests will need to complete a PLF if entering the UK to board their ship, and all guests (both UK and non-UK residents) will need to complete a separate PLF for their voyage.

The testing requirements and time frame to complete your PLF vary depending on how you enter the UK and how long you will spend there.

We have put together some helpful guides, covering several scenarios, detailing everything you need to know to complete your PLF before you board your ship.

If you’re visiting or returning to the UK on a cruise that lasts 19 days or less, please submit the form in the 48 hours before boarding. If your cruise is longer, you can submit the form while travelling.
