The US Center of Disease Control (CDC) has produced guidance for cruise ship operations in any international, interstate, or intrastate waterways subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to help prevent, detect, and medically manage confirmed and suspected COVID-19 infections, as well as exposures among crew members during periods of suspended cruise ship operations.
As a condition of obtaining controlled free pratique to continue to engage in any cruise ship operations, the CDC Director’s No Sail Order, published in the Federal Register on April 15, 2020, requires that cruise ship operators, among other things, develop plans to prevent, mitigate, and respond to the spread of COVID-19 on board cruise ships.
