Rare Silver Spectre Posted April 2, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2021 The Philippines has been added to the U.K. Red List today, so that looks like a death knell for any hope of a Silversea cruise around or out of the U.K. for this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBP&O2/O Posted April 2, 2021 #2 Share Posted April 2, 2021 The ban starts on 9th April .... along with Pakistan, Kenya and Bangladesh. Presumably they are not infectious this week 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why. The travel ban would prohibit crew from the Philippines from flying to London to join a ship, but if crew members leave the Philippines for some other landing spot, board a ship, and are traveling for weeks before the ship arrives in the UK, I doubt the travel ban would affect them or the ship. Surely the Red List cannot ban people solely by their nationality, if they have been out of the banned country for weeks or months, right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
