At long last, cruise lines are finally starting to drop their vaccine mandates and allow all passengers — inoculated or not — to sail on their ships.

It can be confusing to keep track of which lines require what, and in which regions unvaccinated guests can sail if there are still destination limitations. With that in mind, we’ve put together this list of cruise lines allowing unvaccinated guests to sail, as well as what the other lines are currently requiring as far as vaccinations go.

(Note: This information is accurate as of August 15, 2022. Check the cruise lines’ websites for the most up-to-date information.)
