Cruiseships banned until 2022

The Minister for Tourism, Civil Aviation, Ports and Marine Didier Dogley has announced a ban on visiting cruiseships with immediate effect until the beginning of 2022. An indefinite ban was already in place in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis. Given that cruise itineraries are typically scheduled two or more years in advance, the long term impact of this measure will undoubtedly be felt for many years to come.

There have been 11 cases of Covid-19 in Seychelles and no deaths. All cases have been linked directly or indirectly to Seychelles International Airport and incoming flights.
