Royal Caribbean just announced more 'fully vaccinated' cruises this year, this time in the Mediterranean

• Royal Caribbean just announced fully vaccinated seven-night cruises sailing from Cyprus.
• The cruise series will sail around Cyprus and Greece from July through October.
• Royal Caribbean has been announcing a string of summer cruises with COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Royal Caribbean just unveiled a new summer series of fully vaccinated cruises in the Mediterranean, only one day after it announced a different collection of vaccine-mandated sailings from Bermuda.

Vaccinated against COVID-19 and craving a warm summer escape aboard a cruise ship? Royal Caribbean's newly announced seven-night Mediterranean cruises may be a good fit for you. From July 10 through October, the cruise line's 13-deck Jewel of the Seas ship will bring guests from Limassol, Cyprus to different destinations around Cyprus and Greece, including Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini.

This will be Royal Caribbean's first time sailing from Cyprus.

"We are delighted that Royal Caribbean will call Limassol its home port for the first time ever," Savvas Perdios, Cyprus' deputy minister of tourism, said in a press release. "This has been an ambition of ours for many years, and we are thrilled that, finally, this dream has come to fruition."

These new Mediterranean sailings will cruise with a vaccine mandate. This means all crew members and adult guests aboard the ship will have to be vaccinated against COVID-19, while passengers under 18-years-old will instead have to test negative for the virus. However, Royal Caribbean notes that these protocols may change "as they are evaluated on an ongoing basis."

Besides this Mediterranean cruising announcement, Royal Caribbean has unveiled three different series of "fully vaccinated" cruises in March. This includes the Odyssey of the Seas sailings from Israel, Adventure of the Seas from the Bahamas, and Vision of the Seas from Bermuda. All of these cruises are set to sail this year, addressing the general pent-up demand for cruising and travel.

"The vaccines are clearly a game-changer for all of us, and with the number of vaccinations and their impact growing rapidly, we believe starting with cruises for vaccinated adult guests and crew is the right choice," Michael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International, said in a March 19 press release. "As we move forward, we expect this requirement and other measures will inevitably evolve over time."
