Cruise ships and other sea arrivals

There are currently no specific guidelines related to COVID-19 and cruising in the NT. NT Health encourages passengers to stay up to date with COVID-19 and influenza vaccinations, as well as any destination-specific travel vaccines.

Cruise ships remain a higher risk setting for communicable diseases. To continue to cruise safely, operators should apply industry best practice to minimise the transmission of communicable diseases including COVID-19, other acute respiratory infections and gastroenteritis.

Passengers or crew with a notifiable disease should be reported to the Centre for Disease Control as required by NT Health legislation. Read more information about notifiable diseases.
