Canada is easing border measures for fully-vaccinated travelers who are permitted to enter Canada. As of July 5th, if you are travelling into Canada and are fully vaccinated - and you meet other mandatory requirements, including pre- and on-arrival testing - then you won’t need to quarantine at home or stay at an authorized hotel.
You must also be asymptomatic, have a copy of your vaccination documentation, and provide COVID-19-related information electronically through the ArriveCAN app before you arrive in Canada. You must continue to follow all other public health measures that have been put in place, too.
If you are not fully vaccinated when you come back into Canada, these updated measures do not apply to you. You must continue to follow the current testing and federal quarantine requirements. This is necessary to limit the importation and transmission of COVID-19 and its variants.

RIP Captain Stubing 🙏

It is with sadness felt to the depth of the oceans that we mourn the passing of actor Gavin MacLeod, our beloved global ambassador, dearest friend, and treasured member of the Princess Cruises family for more than 35 years.

From his 10 seasons starring as Captain Merrill Stubing on the hit TV show The Love Boat, and for more than 3 decades after, Gavin enthusiastically shared his passion about the joys and adventures of exploring the world while cruising. He always reminded us that, like the popular TV series, “cruising gives people something to dream about.”

All of us send our heartfelt condolences to his entire family, and offer our sincerest gratitude to them for sharing Gavin with all of us for so many years. https://bit.ly/3c4LsuN

I have traveled to many destinations across Canada, the US and internationally via trains, planes, automobiles. Cruising remains one of my favorite ways to travel and I have cruised on multiple cruise lines. I love the idea of unpacking once but waking up in a new port each day!
