Test cruises with volunteer passengers are on the horizon as CDC issues new guidance
On Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released additional guidance for cruise ships with
instructions for trial voyages with volunteer passengers meant to take place in advance of sailings that include paying passengers.
"With the issuance of these next two phases, cruise ship operators now have all the necessary requirements and recommendations they need to start simulated voyages before resuming restricted passenger voyages and apply for a COVID-19 conditional sailing certificate to begin sailing with restricted passenger voyages," the CDC said on its website, noting it may adjust requirements and recommendations in the future.
Ships requiring a high level of vaccinated crew and passengers can bypass the test cruise phase.
As a stockholder of one cruise line I hope a successful resumption of operations can resume. Who's up for a test cruise?
