“The minister of health and I both suggested changing our regulations regarding certificates from outside the Schengen Area. These changes are substantial … Most of our tourists come from (the U.S. and the UK), and they have a great impact on our economy, and they are well underway with vaccinations, using vaccines that the (European Medicines) Agency has approved," Sigurbjörnsdóttir said

Certificates of vaccination with vaccinations that have already been approved by the European Medicines Agency will be accepted, according to the minister. The list of vaccines that are supported can be found on the ministry of health's website.

The North Atlantic Agency's general manager, Gya Gumundsdóttir, called this a "very important step" for the cruise industry.
