Health and safety of our community, employees, and passengers is paramount. We are actively working to coordinate components of a Healthy Cruise program, which includes:
-
Continuing health and safety measures in our own facilities to encourage physical distancing between parties, reduce congestion and contact, and improve air flow
-
Ensuring transparency with our community by appearing at community organizations, hosting cruise related webinars to take community questions, and working closely with community and industry leaders
-
Facilitating communication between local health authorities and the cruise lines to offer vaccinations and boosters for cruise ship crew. Coordination with response resources and community and industry leaders.
We are working with cruise lines, the Washington State Department of Health, and Public Health Seattle-King County on 2022 Port Agreements, which outline protocols that protect public safety during cruise operations. These agreements include measures that prevent the spread of COVID, as well as outline the response in the event a COVID positive case. Cruise lines will have plans in place with local providers for both treatment and quarantining passengers and crew, if necessary. Agreements will include protocols related vaccination, testing, masking and physical distancing guidelines.
