Post-Covid-19 Travel: Here’s Why Cruises May Be The Safest Way To Go On Vacation

While we’re all cautiously optimistic that travel will resume in the coming months, according to research conducted by the Healthy Sail Panel, it may be easier to avoid contracting Covid-19 on a cruise ship vacation as opposed to spending the week in a major city or seaside resort.

The Healthy Sail Panel, a joint safety task force between Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line, includes a group of the “best minds and leaders in public health,” across biosecurity, epidemiology, hospitality and maritime operations. The collective efforts “will be shared with the cruise industry and other industries that may benefit from [the] findings,” according to a statement by Royal Caribbean.
