Life on Our Adventure Vessels

1. Does UnCruise Adventures require masks onboard? We’ve updated our onboard protocols and as of November 19th, we will no longer require masks onboard our vessels or in enclosed spaces. We will continue to review our protocols in line with appropriate health and safety needs and reserve the right to reestablish mask use as needed onboard our vessels.  

While our small ship cruisers are no longer required to wear masks, we encourage crew and guests to use masks at their discretion. All guests and crew must wear masks based on local regulations and requirements in port as requested, or with certain vendors while onshore.  

2. Am I at risk for COVID-19 while onboard? Yes, it is possible for fully vaccinated and boosted people to contract COVID-19, which is why everyone aboard is encouraged to wear a mask. You should also wear a mask when on public transportation, on pre-cruise tours and when visiting departure towns. For COVID-19 and many other forms of illness, the health and safety of everyone onboard is intricately linked together. This is a communal effort.

3. What will happen if a vaccinated person tests positive for COVID-19 onboard the boat? The individual will be isolated in their cabin, up to 5 days, along with any others that test positive. If needed, medical authorities will be contacted and advised on the condition of the guest (s). Due to vaccination, the person may be allowed to stay aboard in isolation, for 5 days, based on a professional’s direction. However, the company may require guests to depart the vessel and isolate in a shoreside hotel. Please check with your Travel Insurance Company for full coverage details.

4. Is UnCruise operating at reduced capacity? Depending on the vessel, we may hold cabins to provide for isolation as needed.
