FULLY VACCINATED GUESTS ONLY

 

We have always been committed to bringing the best and most enjoyable cycling experiences to all our guests. This commitment translates into ensuring the wellbeing and safety of both guests and staff during each and every one of our trips. With this in mind, we will now have a vaccination policy requiring all guests traveling with us to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19, (which may include a booster shot if required). This requirement will also make it easier for everyone to access indoor venues in Europe, as the evolution of the pandemic has forced many countries to require proof of vaccination to enter indoor venues such as hotels and restaurants. All Thomson staff members working on a trip will also be required to be fully vaccinated.

 


 

EUROPE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

 

Starting on March 1, 2022, the European Council adopted an updated recommendation whereby European states should allow non-essential travel for persons vaccinated with a WHO-approved vaccine, provided they have received the last dose of the primary vaccination series at least 14 days and no more than 270 days before arrival or they have received a booster dose.

 

EU states have also been recommended to lift the temporary restriction on non-essential travel for persons who have recovered from COVID-19 within 180 days prior to travelling to the EU.
