At the beginning of May, the Anthem of the Seas sets sail from New York and heads toward southern England. In total, she’ll take 12 days to arrive at her destination, and she doesn’t make many stops along the way. You can take the cruise for €655 per person in a balcony cabin. If the inside cabin is enough for you, it starts at €544 per person. Full board service is included.
Gratuities are not included but are optional. You are free to tip as much as you like. Individual shore leave is basically possible again but also depends on the regulations of the individual ports.
Entry into the USA is permitted for fully vaccinated persons. In addition to proof of vaccination, you need a negative rapid corona test no older than 1 calendar day before departure.
Included Services
You get full board service with breakfast, lunch and dinner (some speciality restaurants are excluded) as well as cold and hot water, coffee and tea with meals. All cabins have double beds, which can also be converted to single beds if required. There is an extensive program of events and entertainment (also for children). Tips are not included but are voluntary. In theory, you don’t have to pay anything if you don’t want to.
