[Marmaduke]

Are Oceania guests currently required to wear masks whilst on board at  ports in Europe and are masks compulsory on the Oceania tour buses ?

Your question is too broad. Different countries have different rules just like Canada and the U.S. have different rules. Might help if you be specific to specific countries.

 

To compound matters, this past summer we found cities along the way with their own requirements that supplemented the country’s requirements.

The only place on a Baltic cruise in August that we had to wear a mask was on public transportation in Germany. We visited 10 countries total.

Just off the Riviera 9/14 after two cruises and although we had been instructed that masks were mandatory in Greece and Italy and on the excursion buses.....there were maybe one in 20 people wearing masks......both on the tour buses and while exploring museums, galleries, etc.....seems people are just over it and no one is enforcing the use of masks.  I think unless things turn around for the worse at some point....we won't be seeing any mask enforcement anytime soon.

Just off last week from the Insignia cruise from Israel to Trieste, Italy.  The staff had to wear masks when the ship was docked in Greece ports and everyone had to wear a mask to be able to ride the vaparetto's in Venice.  They wouldn't let you on the vaparetto without one on.  That was the extent of required mask wearing.
