All 2022 cruises are available, and 2023 departures are to be loaded soon.  <\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Holland America Line announced that for most voyages we have opened cruising to more guests while still ensuring we are protecting the health of everyone on board and the communities we visit. Vaccinated guests no longer need a pre-cruise COVID-19 test to board and unvaccinated guests are welcomed on board with proof of a negative COVID-19 self-test. Exceptions remain for some destinations, including cruises to Canada, Alaska and Australia. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollandamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HealthSearchTool-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollandamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/HealthSearchTool-1.jpg\" alt=\"health protocols search tool\" width=\"1000\" height=\"532\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-143586\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had a great response as we\u2019ve opened up cruising to more guests, but we recognize different destination-specific requirements can be confusing\u201d said Beth Bodensteiner, chief commercial officer for Holland America Line. \u201cThis search tool makes it simple for guests to know exactly what they need for embarkation.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Also new is that the <a href=\"https:\/\/myverifly.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">VeriFLY<\/a> app will now include the health requirements needed specific for each cruise.
