How Late In Pregnancy Can You Cruise?

Carnival Cruise Lines’ policy prohibits sailing during the third trimester of pregnancy due to health-focused reasons. The cruise ticket contract outlines limitations in medical care, prenatal and early infant care, and other aspects. However, pregnant women can enjoy a cruise on Celebrity Cruises up until their 23rd week of pregnancy.

Royal Caribbean International cannot accept guests who will be more than 23 weeks pregnant at any time during the cruise or CruiseTour. Pregnant women can enjoy a cruise on Celebrity Cruises up until their 23rd week of pregnancy, but it is always safer to travel after 24-28 weeks of pregnancy. Cruise line-specific policies regarding taking a cruise while pregnant may vary, with some having stricter restrictions than simply stating no guest can board a ship once they reach their 24th week.

Guests who have entered their 24th week of pregnancy as of their embarkation date or who will enter their 24th week during the cruise will be refused passage due to safety concerns. To ensure medical safety, all travel must be completed before the 24th week of pregnancy. A medical certificate establishing your pregnancy is required.

Pregnant women can enjoy a cruise on Celebrity Cruises up until their 23rd week of pregnancy, but it is always safer to consult with a doctor before embarking on a cruise. Most cruise lines have restrictions for pregnant passengers, primarily for those in their third trimester (last three months), and some cruise lines may refuse to accommodate pregnant passengers.

In early 2024, a new policy was introduced that would allow pregnant women to sail through their 23rd week of pregnancy, provided they are less than 24 weeks pregnant on the last day of their cruise.
