Royal Caribbean Cruises Health & Safety Protocols

Royal Caribbean Health & Safety Protocols

Royal Caribbean Cruises prioritizes the health, safety, and comfort of every guest and crew member onboard. By partnering with leading medical experts and global health authorities, the cruise line maintains high standards of cleanliness, medical care, and wellness protocols across the entire fleet.

Guest Wellness & Fitness to Sail

All guests must ensure they are medically and physically fit for travel before embarkation.

• Standard Vaccinations: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) provide strict guidelines regarding standard travel vaccinations.
• Destination Requirements: Depending on your cruise itinerary, specific countries may require particular inoculations (such as Yellow Fever) for entry. Royal Caribbean requires compliance with all local health regulations for the ports visited during your voyage.
• Medical Consultation: Guests with pre-existing medical conditions, specific health risks, or those traveling late in pregnancy should consult their healthcare provider prior to booking or sailing.

Health Information Disclosure

While standard domestic and international cruises do not require routine pre-cruise testing or specific respiratory disease vaccinations, guests may be asked to complete a brief health questionnaire during the digital check-in process. Royal Caribbean requests that all guests accurately disclose their health status to help maintain a safe environment onboard.

Inherent Risk Notice

Exposure to airborne pathogens and viruses is an inherent risk in any public space where people gather. While onboard health and safety measures significantly mitigate these risks, they cannot eliminate them entirely. Before booking or sailing, guests should evaluate their own health levels and make informed travel decisions.
