As talk in America turns from preventing COVID-19 infection to administering the COVID-19 vaccine, all eyes are on cruise lines to see what their policy will be on a return to cruising. Will cruise lines require a vaccine for passengers? We got some clarity on that issue recently from American Queen Steamboat Company, one of the country's premier river cruise lines. The cruise line, along with sister company Victory Cruise Lines, became one of the first cruise operators to definitely say that proof of vaccination will be required to step onboard. John Waggoner, Chairman & CEO of American Queen Steamboat Company joined Porthole Cruise Magazine Editor-in-Chief Bill Panoff to discuss his cruise line's decision regarding vaccines, the process for keeping guests safe and their brand new ship American Countess. John's long history in the passenger vessel industry gives him a unique perspective on how to best keep passengers and crew safe. He has been awarded a Commendation from the Commandment of the U.S. Coast Guard for his continued contributions to promoting passenger vessel safety across the many maritime industries with which he's involved. - - - - - - - - - - - Let us know your thoughts in the comments below! - - - - - - - - - - - For the latest in cruise news visit Porthole.com.
