The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Aug. 20 that travelers at high risk of complications from COVID-19 should avoid cruise ships, even if fully vaccinated.
According to the CDC’s updated guidance on cruise ship travelers, the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, the pathogen that causes the disease COVID-19, spreads easily between people in close quarters on ships, and the chance of catching the illness on cruise ships is high.
