The additional measures, which will encompass a door-to-door approach covering the guest’s entire cruise experience, from booking through disembarkation, are being finalized now and will be announced in the coming weeks. They will apply globally with some variance for very small ships (less than 250 person capacity) or expedition vessels. Although I’m not able to provide you with a comprehensive list, examples include:
- Booking procedures and risk disclosures
- Staggered guest arrivals and departures
- Health screening including temperature checks for anyone boarding
- Onboard testing capability
- Augmentation of medical facilities and staff
- Capacity management/social distancing
- Dining restrictions
- Use of contactless technology
- Contact tracing
