CDC Issues New Guidelines for U.S. Cruise Lines to Begin “Trial” Sailings with Passengers

The CDC has revealed new guidelines that will allow cruise lines to participate in trial sailing with passengers as early as this summer.

What’s Happening:

  • NBC affiliate, WESH 2 in Central Florida, is reporting that U.S. ports could soon be reopening and for sailings  with passengers.
  • Last month the Centers of Disease Control stated that cruise lines would be able to resume travel later this summer and now they’ve revealed their adjusted guidelines.
  • As of today, the CDC has issued new guidelines for the next two phases of the Framework for Conditional Salings.
  • This next phase will allow U.S. cruise lines to conduct simulated or “trial” cruises with volunteer passengers.
  • These voyages will take place before cruise lines can resume sailings with a restricted number of passengers under a COVID-19 Conditional Sailing Certificate.
  • Under the new guidelines, cruise lines may now submit requests to participate in the simulated sailings and could be on the seas by mid-summer.
  • Disney Cruise Line has not yet announced plans for their ships, or when they’ll resume sailings.
