"Cruising from the U.S. is back!" said Richard D. Fain, Royal Caribbean Group
chairman and CEO. "After months of working with the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) and other government officials, our Healthy Sail
Panel and industry partners, we can again offer cruise lovers the chance to
enjoy the wonders of cruising. We are truly thankful to reach this special
milestone."
The cruise company's return is heralded with a sailing on its much lauded,
state-of-the-art, luxury ship Celebrity Edge. The ship was given the go-ahead
by the CDC to be the first ship back in the water, meeting all new standards
for delivering a safe and healthy cruise experience for guests and crew. The
inaugural sailing from Fort Lauderdale sets the stage for Royal Caribbean Group
to announce additional itineraries, reviving local U.S. port economies and
kick-starting the rebound in cruise tourism around the world.
All sailings will depart with vaccinated crew and everyone over the age of 16
must present proof of vaccination against COVID-19; as of August 1, 2021, all
guests ages 12 and older must present proof of vaccination.
