Azamara COVID-19 -Testing Updates
Azamara is pleased to announce the removal of its COVID-19 embarkation testing requirement starting 25 July, 2022, excluding ports where it is still required in accordance with country regulations. To ensure the health and safety of its guests and crew, Azamara will still require proof of vaccination prior to embarkation. Azamara recommends that all guests departing from any port get tested at their leisure prior to travel to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience, but those results will not be required to board an Azamara vessel. The pre-cruise testing remains as a requirement for travellers embarking in a port where these protocols remain. In those cases, guests will still need to produce a negative COVID-19 test before sailing. A list of these ports is provided here.
Ovolo South Yarra’s Solo Traveller Experience
As travel firmly resumes and new research reveals 58 per cent of all travellers would plan a solo trip this year, Melbourne’s boutique designer hotel, Ovolo South Yarra, offers solo travellers a unique ‘micro room’ concept with the introduction of its Go Go Snug rooms. Designed for individual guests and solo travellers who are ‘on the Go Go’, the rooms were developed for the experiential traveller; those who are budget sensitive, but still wish to be indulgent and don’t want compromise on their luxury experience at a hotel like Ovolo South Yarra. Ensuring there is no downgrade even if they downsize, Go Go Snug Room guests still have access to all of Ovolo’s signature Perks, including a free mini bar in room, complimentary breakfast options, superspeed Wi-Fi, social hour, and the guest favourite Loot bags, plus more.
