All passengers will require a Covid-19 vaccination to travel on Crystal Cruises ships.
When cruises resume, Crystal Cruise passengers will need to provide proof that they have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 before being allowed to board, the cruise firm said. Vaccinations must have taken place at least 14 days before travelling.
The American cruise line, which operates ocean and river cruises all over the world, joins a growing list of cruise lines that have mandated Covid-19 vaccinations for passengers. Royal Caribbean and Saga Cruises have made similar announcements in recent weeks.
The cruise line has implemented additional health and safety measures including requiring negative Covid-19 tests for both guests and crew, temperature checks at the terminal prior to boarding, social distancing guidelines, enhanced cleaning and disinfection measures, and reduced capacity.
