Although we haven’t cruised since the pandemic began, Holland America has implemented a variety of procedures that would make us feel safe to cruise again. First, all guests must be fully vaccinated and provide a negative COVID-19 test taken within 48 hours of sailing. If a test is required to return home, Holland America provides one at no charge. Public areas and staterooms are cleaned and sanitized frequently with a medical-grade disinfectant proven to kill coronaviruses. Staff is always masked, and guests must wear masks in certain indoor areas on the ship. Frequent handwashing and use of hand sanitizer are encouraged and stations are available around the ship.The air handling systems onboard all ships now have enhanced air filtration which combines an upgraded system with increased circulation of fresh air. The onboard award-winning medical centers are fully staffed with doctors and nurses trained to manage COVID-19. They are also equipped with testing and treatment capabilities if needed. The company constantly reviews all local health and safety guidelines for all the ports the ship may visit. Depending on the country, you may be required to take a shore excursion provided by Holland America to go ashore. Stay tuned…
