Crystal Cruises Health & Safety Protocols

Crystal Cruises delivers exceptional luxury ocean travel backed by industry-leading maritime health, safety, and environmental protocols across its fleet. Operating under the highest standards of luxury shipboard management, Crystal focuses on comprehensive medical infrastructure, continuous environmental sanitation, and strict compliance with international public health frameworks.

• Advanced Fresh-Air HVAC Systems: All guest suites and indoor public spaces on board Crystal ships are supplied with 100% fresh, filtered outdoor air. Climate systems feature hospital-grade multi-stage filtration to ensure zero cross-contamination or air recirculation between private suites.
• 24/7 Medical Center & Onboard Staffing: Every Crystal vessel carries a fully equipped, state-of-the-art Medical Center staffed by licensed physicians and registered nurses experienced in emergency medicine. Facilities meet or exceed American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) guidelines and include ICU capabilities, radiology, lab testing, and cardiac support.
• Continuous Medical-Grade Sanitation: Public lounges, dining venues, suites, and high-touch surface areas undergo continuous deep-cleaning using hospital-grade, environmentally safe disinfectants. Touchless hand-sanitizing stations are situated prominently throughout the ship.
• Pre-Embarkation Health Declarations: All guests must complete standard health check-in questionnaires prior to embarkation to monitor for symptoms of communicable illnesses and safeguard the shipboard community.
• Pregnancy and Infant Regulations: For passenger safety, Crystal cannot accommodate guests who will enter or reach their 24th week of pregnancy at any point during the voyage. Minimum sailing ages apply, requiring infants to be at least 6 months old for standard itineraries and 12 months old for ocean crossings, World Cruises, or extended itineraries.
