CLIA ocean cruise line members worldwide have agreed to conduct 100% testing of passengers and crew on all ships with a capacity to carry 250 or more persons—with a negative test required for any embarkation. CLIA says this initiative is “… a travel industry first and an example of the cruise industry leading the way.”
“We see testing as an important initial step to a multi-layered approach that we believe validates the industry’s commitment to making health, safety, and the well-being of the passengers, the crew, and the communities we visit our top priority.”
∙ As cruises continue to gradually resume around the world, the cruise industry is the first in the travel and tourism sector to commit to 100% testing for passengers and crew worldwide.
∙ For many months, cruise lines have worked tirelessly with experts worldwide, and in recognition of health authorities, to develop unprecedented public health protocols and are optimistic these measures will allow for gradual, phased resumption of cruising of cruising to continue in ever more markets.
