As you prepare for your sailing, we want to share some important information about COVID-19 testing requirements and helpful information to make your arrival at the port seamless.
Pre-Trip COVID-19 Testing:
In order to sail and prior to arriving at the port, all Guests (adults and children, regardless of age) must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test (paid for at the Guests’ expense) taken between 5 days and 24 hours prior to the sail date. This is the first of two COVID-19 PCR tests required to set sail. The test should be a full PCR test, not a rapid test. Guests who are fully vaccinated may choose to provide proof of vaccination instead of undergoing COVID19 pre-trip testing.
Safe Passage website, by Inspire Diagnostics:
Beginning no sooner than 33 days prior to sailing, each adult Guest 18 years of age and older must individually register and create an account associated with their reservation (or reservations, for Guests with back-to-back, consecutive sailings) on the Safe Passage website by Inspire Diagnostics to upload their tests results or proof of vaccination. Inspire is Disney Cruise Line’s third-party partner for COVID-19 testing and vaccination verification.
Parents and legal guardians must use their own accounts to submit pre-cruise test results on behalf of their children under the age of 18 prior to sailing.
After appropriate documents have been uploaded and reviewed by Inspire, Guests should see the words “Clear to Arrive” in the Pre-Sail Screening section when they log into their account before arriving at the port.
It is also recommended that Guests bring a copy of their negative COVID-19 PCR test result with them to the port. If you have any questions about your Safe Passage registration or status, please contact 877-250-5132.
Embarkation COVID-19 Testing:
All Guests (adults and children, regardless of age) are required to undergo a PCR COVID-19 test at the terminal prior to boarding. This is the second of two COVID-19 PCR tests required to set sail. A $65 test fee will be charged to the folio of all Guests 12 years of age and older. Guests under 12 will be tested at no charge. Guests who are fully vaccinated may choose to provide proof of vaccination instead of undergoing COVID-19 embarkation testing. Fully vaccinated Guests who have travelled outside the United States within five days prior to sailing must undergo a PCR COVID-19 test at the terminal, paid for by Disney Cruise Line.
Travel Insurance:
For cruises departing from Florida through December 31, 2021, Guests 12 years of age and older must provide proof of a valid travel insurance policy that has a minimum of $10,000 per person in medical expense coverage and $30,000 coverage for emergency medical evacuation and no COVID-19 exclusions. The insurance policy must name the Guest as the policy holder or beneficiary and may be purchased from the Guests’ preferred travel insurance provider or through the Disney Cruise Line Vacation Protection Program, which includes the requisite coverage and provides other benefits for travel protection. Guests that purchase insurance from a provider other than Disney Cruise Line will need to provide proof of the insurance policy at the terminal, showing the name of each of the covered Guest(s) and a description of the coverage in the policy. Guests who are fully vaccinated may choose to provide proof of vaccination instead of obtaining travel insurance.
Debarkation Day COVID-19 Testing
All Guests (adults and children, regardless of age) on 5-night and longer sailings are required to undergo a PCR COVID-19 test administered by Inspire Diagnostics on the ship prior to debarking. A $65 test fee will be charged to the folio of all Guests 12 years of age and older. Guests under 12 will be tested at no charge. Guests on 5-night or longer sailings who are fully vaccinated may choose to provide proof of vaccination instead of undergoing COVID-19 debarkation testing.
COVID-19 Vaccination:
Disney Cruise Line strongly encourages all eligible Guests to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before sailing. Guests who are fully vaccinated may choose to provide proof of vaccination through the Safe Passage website by Inspire Diagnostics in order to be exempt from the pre-trip, embarkation and debarkation (if necessary) COVID-19 testing and travel insurance requirements mentioned above. Fully vaccinated Guests who arrive from an international destination within five days prior to sailing must undergo the rapid PCR COVID-19 test at the terminal, paid for by Disney Cruise Line. It is recommended that Guests bring their vaccination card showing the final dose was administered at least 14 days before sailing with them to the port.
