MIAMI, FLORIDA - MAY 26: Cruise ships dock at PortMiami as the cruise line industry waits to begin operations again on May 26, 2021 in Miami, Florida. In late June, the Royal Caribbean cruise line will be allowed to operate test cruises out of South Florida after receiving approval from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The test cruises will show whether ships can sail safely and follow CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday that travelers who are at high risk of severe complications from Covid-19 should avoid taking cruises, regardless of their vaccination status.
Travelers who are not fully vaccinated avoid taking cruises, the updated guidance recommended.
According to the CDC, the new advice follows several coronavirus outbreaks that have been reported aboard cruise ships.
“The virus that causes Covid-19 spreads easily between people in close quarters aboard ships, and the chance of getting Covid-19 on cruise ships is high,” the CDC said in its updated guidance.
The agency advised all travelers to get tested one to three days before taking a cruise and three to five days after returning, regardless of their vaccination status. Those who take a cruise should also quarantine for seven days after returning, even if they test negative for the virus.
