Brits can now book sailings on Anthem of the Seas for a summer holiday cruise.
Royal Caribbean has opened up bookings for its recently announced summer cruises aboard Anthem of the Seas.
Beginning with the July 7 sailing, Anthem of the Seas is open for bookings from her homeport of Southampton.
Anthem will sail three and four-night Ocean Getaways in July with five to eight-night British Isles cruises from July 15.
Guests can sail to destinations such as Liverpool, Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands, Scotland, and Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The new sailings range between the months of July and October 2021.
Cruises on Anthem of the Seas are open only to UK residents and you must be vaccinated to sail if you are at least 18 years old. Guests under the age of 18 will not need to be vaccinated but should show a negative test result.
Royal Caribbean says guests must not only have had the full inoculation, but also two weeks after the last shot.
Royal Caribbean International’s Ben Bouldin confirmed the requirements, "For adults, we are asking that all adults are vaccinated. That means they've had both vaccinations and they've had the required period of time, the two weeks post their second vaccination for that vaccination."
Royal Caribbean indicated the requiring the vaccine, and other health measures, "may evolve as they are evaluated on an ongoing basis."
Anthem of the Seas is one of many cruise lines that has pivoted its plans to offer cruises this summer from the UK exclusively to residents of that country.
Sister line Celebrity Cruises also recently put on sale its Celebrity Silhouette ship from Southampton as well.
Celebrity Silhouette will offer 6-, 7-, and 8-night cruises around the UK.
Ports of call will include Portland on the Jurassic Coast as well as Inverness and Glasgow, and Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands plus Belfast and Liverpool.
Moving plans around this summer has been Royal Caribbean's new game plan, with many governments still closing their borders to cruises.
Thus far, five Royal Caribbean ships have been re-deployed in order to offer cruises this summer.
- Adventure of the Seas from Nassau, Bahamas
- Vision of the Seas from Bermuda
- Jewel of the Seas from Cyprus
- Odyssey of the Seas from Haifa, Israel
- Anthem of the Seas from Southampton
