Adventures by Disney & NatGeo to Lift COVID-19 Requirements abd-natgeo-covid-restrictions-lifted

Beginning June 1, 2023, Adventures by Disney and National Geographic Expeditions will no longer require guests (regardless of age) to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at the time of travel; however, it is highly recommended.



Guests will continue to be required to comply with any trip-specific vaccination requirements for international trips, as destination and local laws may still require vaccinations.

As a reminder, National Geographic Expeditions and Adventures by Disney Private Jet departures will continue to require full COVID-19 vaccination to travel.



Take a look at the chart below for details.

Important info from Disney: Adventures by Disney and National Geographic Expeditions strongly recommend that all guests be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at the time of travel, including a COVID-19 booster shot, if eligible. For international trips, destination and local laws may still require vaccinations. Guests who are not considered fully vaccinated may be prevented from entering certain destinations. Destinations and local laws that require vaccinations may have different requirements and definitions of what constitutes full vaccination and may change those requirements on short notice. This may include requiring additional wait time after the full series of doses and a booster before considering someone fully vaccinated. Guests will continue to be required to comply with any destination and trip-specific vaccination requirements, including those required by Disney’s cruise operators.
