THE timeframe for Ponant’s mandatory PCR test has been changed to 72 hours instead of the 48 hours as originally required (CW yesterday).
“Australia is still rolling out the vaccine program, and we understand it may not be possible for guests to have had the COVID vaccine prior to sailing and/or they may experience difficulties in order to receive their PCR test,” Ponant explained.
“We are also aware that some guests may have made pre-cruise travel arrangements in remote areas where undertaking a PCR test may not be possible.”
