Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several updates within the cruise industry for July 25, 2022. Margaritaville at Sea has announced that vaccinated guests are no longer required to provide negative COVID-19 test results before sailing, though unvaccinated passengers must still submit a negative test taken within one day of departure. This follows a similar policy change by Virgin Voyages. Regarding family amenities, Carnival Cruise Lines has restarted its Night Owls nighttime babysitting program. According to brand ambassador John Heald, the goal is to offer the service most evenings on many ships, and children under two are permitted to participate. Additionally, children can now spend time in Camp Ocean on certain port days. For luxury travelers, Silver Sea is offering a 2025 world cruise aboard the Silver Dawn. The 136 day journey begins in Tokyo and visits 59 destinations across 30 countries, including stops in Asia, Europe, Canada, and New England before concluding in New York City. The cruise costs 76,000 dollars per person and offers the option to book shorter segments. Finally, the report notes that cruise line stocks, including Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian, all saw declines on Friday.
