EXPANDED CRYSTAL CLEAN+ 4.0 PROTOCOLS NOW REQUIRE ALL GUESTS TO HAVE COVID-19 VACCINATIONS

As we all look ahead to adventures on the horizon, an update to the Crystal Clean+ protocols has been announced. Version 4.1 has been amended to include new guidelines regarding shore excursions and pre-boarding. 
Here’s what’s new:

Shoreside Partners & Excursions:
  • As the COVID-19 vaccine is now a requirement for travel with Crystal, guests will be permitted to explore independently ashore relating to the new Luxury Bahamas Escapes voyages. Crystal guests will be expected to follow all of the destination’s local guidelines pertaining to masks, social distancing and other precautions including frequent handwashing. Crystal guests should visit The Bahamas’ website for further details on their health and safety protocols. This policy will be reviewed for our other ships and their itineraries as we get more, detailed local health and safety protocols on those destinations. We expect to provide further updates on this policy as more information becomes available.
  • Shuttle buses into town will be provided when in port for the Luxury Bahamas Escapes voyages; they may not be provided in other destinations.
Pre-boarding:
  • Vaccines must be accepted by the country Crystal guests are entering if it requires one. Crystal will accept all verified vaccine documentation.
  • Guests will be required to complete a COVID-19 test prior to departure to cruise. The timing of the test will be determined by the requirements of the destination of embarkation. Guests should visit the destinations’ website for further details on their health and safety protocols and requirements.
