New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has ended remaining COVID rules for cruising as the recovering cruise ship industry prepares for a busy summer on the high seas.
The Cruise Protocols were introduced in April 2022 to support the safe resumption of cruising following the lifting of the Commonwealth’s ban during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The protocols stated that all passengers aged 12 years and over needed to be fully vaccinated to board a cruise ship departing or arriving at a port in these four states. The Labor Premier’s move followed updated advice by the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee . “These protocols were important at the time to get the cruising industry going again after COVID they were never meant to remain forever.”
