Medical requirements
Correct as of 9 October 2025
General vaccinations
We recommend you visit your GP for any vaccination advice before your voyage.
Medical requirements
There are currently no Covid-19 vaccination or pre-cruise testing requirements for embarkation.
During your voyage it is your responsibility to meet all the entry requirements for that country at the time of sailing. Please check the government website of the country you are travelling to and ensure you are aware of the most up-to-date country requirements, as we can’t accept responsibility if you are denied entry to a country because you don’t meet the entry requirements.
Appropriate travel insurance is highly recommended to travel.

Medical equipment on board
If you have any pre-existing medical requirements, we advise that you discuss your travel plans with your doctor.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept guests who require haemodialysis.
Oxygen via tank or cylinder cannot be brought onboard without the prior written agreement from Cunard. If you are travelling with CPAP, an oxygen concentrator, mechanical ventilatory support or peritoneal dialysis, you should confirm your fitness to travel on your chosen itinerary with your primary health care provider. You must also have full travel insurance that covers you for all pre-existing health conditions. If you have any queries or require any additional support, please contact our medical team via email:medical@carnivalukgroup.com
We aim to make everyone’s stay with Cunard as relaxing and comfortable as possible. Guests who have any additional needs that may present a health or safety risk to themselves or others, for example mobility or accessibility requirements, must complete the on board needs questionnaire available on My Cunard after booking.
Don’t forget, appropriate travel insurance remains a requirement to travel. Please visit our insurance page to find out more.
