  • Description:
    CDC’s Temporary Extension & Modification of Framework for Conditional Sailing Order (CSO) expired on January 15, 2022. CDC recommends that cruise ships operating in U.S. waters choose to participate in CDC’s COVID-19 Program for Cruise Ships.

    This document provides instructions for cruise lines operating foreign-flagged cruise ships[1] in U.S. waters that have chosen to opt in to CDC’s COVID-19 Program for Cruise Ships. For the purposes of this program, cruise ships are defined as all commercial, non-cargo, foreign-flagged, passenger-carrying vessels subject to the jurisdiction of the United States with the capacity to carry 250 or more individuals (passengers and crew) with an itinerary anticipating an overnight stay on board or a twenty-four (24) hour stay on board for either passengers or crew. This program is designed to ensure health and safety protections for travelers (crew and passengers) in a way that mitigates the risk of spreading COVID-19.
