**A decision by the Directorate General for Merchant Shipping (DGMM), delivered on May 27, 2021, has re-allowed entry to Spanish ports of passenger cruise ships making international voyages and sailing within Spanish territorial waters so that they can enter ports open to international navigation, although subject to the health measures for the resumption of international cruises, determined by the Health Ministry and published on the relevant website.**





The most prominent measures of this type, which will be mandatory for cruises, are: a number of passengers equal to or below 70% - 75% of maximum capacity, mandatory COVID-19 tests for crew members and passengers, mandatory health insurance cover, specific hygiene and cleaning measures, established procedure if cases appear on board, etc.

That decision (published in the Official State Gazette -BOE- on May 29, 2021), which has ended the previously existing ban on international cruises (decision on June 23, 2020 by the Directorate General for Merchant Shipping), came into force on May 7, 2021 and the health measures mentioned above will be applicable until the end of the COVID-19 health crisis.
