When you’re travelling with us, there are a few additional COVID-19-related safety precautions you’ll need to agree to.
Travellers on Polar trips and select adventure cruises will be required to fill out a health questionnaire or provide proof of vaccination prior to embarkation. We also continue to strongly recommend that all travellers on all of our trips get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.
Monitoring your health
We ask all travellers to continue to monitor their health throughout their travels and report any relevant symptoms to their tour leader. If you display any COVID-19 symptoms or have any health concerns during the trip, we will follow the advice of local health authorities to determine whether medical assistance, isolation or further action is required. Travellers who test positive while taking part in an Intrepid trip will need to leave the group for a minimum of five days and may only rejoin the group if presenting as asymptomatic – our team will assist them in arranging a place to self-isolate and any onward journey. On polar trips aboard the Ocean Endeavour, travellers who test positive must isolate in their cabin for a minimum of five days.
It's possible that the destination country may have different or more strict protocols than your home country regarding COVID-19. This may include hotel or hospital quarantine or quarantine for the group. Please check your destination government's travel advice or contact the closest embassy to find out the details.

We understand that sometimes plans change. That’s why, whether you’re unwell or simply change your mind about travelling, when you book with us you have the flexibility** to change your plans – with assurance that you’ll have options to re-book when it suits you.
