    This document is intended to assist cruise ship operators in ensuring health and safety protections during simulated and restricted passenger operations in a way that mitigates the risk of spreading COVID-19. This document is issued under CDC’s Framework for Conditional Sailing Order (CSO) and its requirements must be observed in the same manner as other technical instructions issued under the CSO. This document also contains recommendations to further reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, that cruise ship operators should consider for incorporation into their health and safety protocols as best practices.

    In addition, cruise ship operators must continue to adhere to requirements in CDC’s Technical Instructions for Mitigation of COVID-19 Among Cruise Ship Crew during passenger voyages.

    CDC will update this information as needed and notify cruise ship operators of such updates.
