One of our fellow guests asked if there were any immunizations required for the cruise. According to our travel agent, Alex, there are none required at this time.
On the Center For Disease Control website, they recommend that you have your regular immunizations! Of course, I am one of those people who are clueless about regular shots, so if you are like me you might want to check on things like tetanus, varicella* (??). The CDC recommends that you see a health-care provider who specializes in Travel Medicine (maybe check with your regular doctor).
This is the only way you will be sure you are up to date with regular vaccinations and if there is anything special you should consider for the trip. You should schedule this at least 4-6 weeks (or months?) before we leave. The main country that has any special recommendations is Turkey, but even there it depends on how long you will be there and if you will be going out into the countryside. Probably not for this trip, but as said above, check with your doctor.
Thanks for this question!
