ATLANTA — The ***’s ******** program for cruise ships has come to an end.

The move took effect yesterday, July 18, 2022.

“*** has worked closely with the cruise industry, state, territorial, and local health authorities, and federal and seaport partners to provide a safer and healthier environment for cruise passengers and crew,” says the *** in a heads-up on its site.

“Cruise ships have access to guidance and tools to manage their own ******** mitigation programs. Additionally, cruise travellers have access to recommendations that allow them to make informed decisions about cruise ship travel.”

The *** adds that “while cruising poses some risk of ******** transmission, *** will continue to publish guidance to help cruise ships continue to provide a safer and healthier environment for crew, passengers, and communities going forward.”

Major cruise lines began sailing again in summer 2021. In March 2022 the *** finally dropped its Cruise Ship Travel Health Notice.
