REUTERS -Cruise operator Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd said on Monday it would require mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations for all guests and crew when it restarts trips from U.S. ports in July. The company's announcement follows the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) latest guidance last week to the cruise ship industry, including the need for COVID-19 vaccinations. The cruise operator has taken a hit for over a year due to the pandemic, resulting in heavy annual losses and plunging revenue, forcing it to take new steps to ensure customers can set sail again.

"We believe that through a combination of 100per cent mandatory vaccinations for guests and crew and science-backed public health measures ... we can create a safe, 'bubble-like' environment for guests and crew," Norwegian Cruise's Chief … [Read more...] about Norwegian Cruise to mandate COVID-19 vaccination for guests and crew
