CDC Update on Masks and Shore Excursions

 

Masks on Cruise?

Today the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) made updates to its COVID-19 Operations Manual for Simulated and Restricted Voyages under the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order.

With these updates from CDC, the cruise lines are closer to having their clarifying questions answered.

Mask Use - Fully Vaccinated Travelers:

  • Cruise ship operators, at their discretion, may advise passengers and crew that—if they are fully vaccinated—they may gather or conduct activities outdoors, including engaging in extended meal service or beverage consumption, without wearing a mask except in crowded settings.

 

Shore Excursions - Fully Vaccinated Travelers:

  • Cruise ship operators, at their discretion, may advise passengers and crew that—if they are fully vaccinated—they may engage in self-guided or independent exploration during port stops, if they wear a mask while indoors. The cruise ship operator is additionally advised that foreign jurisdictions may have their own requirements.
