CDC Lowers Covid Treat Level for Cruising

As we approach the resumption of sailing from U.S. ports of call, the CDC has lowered the threat level for vaccinated guests and provided recommendations for all travelers. 

Key Information for Cruise Ship Travelers Who Are Not Fully Vaccinated 

• CDC recommends that people who are not fully vaccinated avoid travel on cruise ships, including river cruises, worldwide. Since the virus spreads more easily between people in close quarters aboard ships, the chance of getting COVID-19 on cruise ships is high. It is especially important that people who are not fully vaccinated with an increased risk of severe illness avoid travel on cruise ships, including river cruises. 
• Cruise passengers who are not fully vaccinated are more likely to get COVID-19, which spreads person-to-person, and outbreaks of COVID-19 have been reported on cruise ships. 
• People who decide to go on a cruise should get tested 1–3 days before their trip and 3–5 days after their trip. 
• In addition to testing, passengers who are not fully vaccinated should self-quarantine for 7 days after cruise travel, even if they test negative. If they do not get tested, they should self-quarantine for 10 days after cruise travel. 
• See recommendations for cruise ship travelers.

There still is no outcome on the battle between Florida and the CDC regarding requirements for vaccinations.  That suit is still pending.  Also, there is no clear answer on how cruise lines will be able to enforce the current vaccination requirement with the ban in Florida for businesses to require vaccines.  Celebrity Edge sails June 26th, so we should know soon.

Celebrity's Alaska Cruisetour Packages

By land and by sea, a Celebrity Cruisetour offers a truly unique Alaska Vacation – cruise, rail, and superb accommodations – so that your Alaska Experience is a true departure from the ordinary.

Why Select Celebrity Cruisetours?

Throughout the land portion, one of the dedicated Tour Directors will serve as a guide along the way for guests, acting as a direct point of contact throughout the program.

They travel on the motorcoaches, the Wilderness Express train cars and even overnight in the same hotels as the guests.

As an expert Guide and Historian, they provide narrative of Alaska’s history and culture. As Concierge, they facilitate all baggage requirements, hotel check-ins, recommend restaurants and arrange optional land excursions. Many of Celebrity's Tour Directors are Alaskans and have their own personal stories to tell.

Unlike competitors who charge up to $400 per person for an escorted cruisetour, Celebrity Tour Directors are already included with every Cruisetour. Be sure to consider this when comparing prices with other operators as guests are already getting a better value by booking their Alaska cruisetour with Celebrity.

As always, offers are subject to availability and may be capacity controlled and subject to other Cruise Line restrictions. When planning an Alaska cruise vacation, it is best to plan early. Keep in mind that the cruising season goes from May through September, so there are limited opportunities to visit the last frontier on a cruisetour.
