Pre-Cruise and Onboard Protocols
SAFETY FOR OUR GUESTS AND CREW
Mandatory Vaccinations Against Covid-19 on Initial Voyages
All guests and crew must be fully vaccinated, at least 2 weeks prior to departure, in order to board. Guest vaccination requirements are currently for all sailings embarking through December 31, 2021– we will follow the science to make determinations on requirements for all other future sailings.
*Passengers on ships embarking or disembarking at US ports need to be vaccinated with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or World Health Organization (WHO) authorized single brand vaccinations.
Universal testing & Pre-Embarkation Protocols
All guests will be required to take a COVID-19 antigen test, administered and paid for by the cruise line, prior to boarding and receive a negative result. Guests are also responsible for complying with all local health and safety requirements which may include additional testing.
Socially Responsible Check-In
We’ve designed an enhanced, staggered embarkation process and new check-in system to streamline check in for guests by allowing documents to be signed electronically.
Controlled Guest Capacity
We will initially control the guest capacity onboard each ship to provide even more space per guest.
Hand Sanitation
All guests will be required to engage in frequent handwashing and hand sanitizer will be prominently placed and easily accessible throughout the ship.
