Crystal Cruises says its objective is to increase and intensify the measures of its Crystal Clean + 4.0 programme, which include mandatory tests for Covid-19 in passengers and crew, wearing a mask, cleaning and disinfection of environments, reduced capacity, physical distance, temperature control, among others.
Crystal's river fleet will begin sailing from May 2021 while sea cruise ships are on hold until June, with ships Endeavor and Esprit not sailing until August. This allows more travellers to get vaccinated and therefore able to travel, especially as the vaccination roll out is different in each country around the world.
