Holidays after 17th May
Under current COVID-19 restrictions you can holiday in England but only in a campsite, caravan, boat, second home, or other self-contained accommodation. This should only be with your household or support bubble and you must not stay overnight with anyone not in your household or support bubble, unless a legal exemption applies. Self-contained holiday accommodation has reopened but this is accommodation in which facilities are restricted to exclusive use of a single household/support bubble. International holidays are not permitted.
With the arrival of Step 3 of the Government’s roadmap due on 17th May it is hoped that there may be certain relaxations in relation to holidays and travel but in the meantime the Government have confirmed that from that date domestic cruises will be able to operate with up to 1,000 people or 50% capacity, whichever is lower although COVID-secure guidance will continue to apply.
By step 4, from 21st June, the government hopes to remove all legal limits on social contact. This includes lifting capacity limits for domestic cruises. For more information, please see here.
