Norwegian Cruise Line is no longer requiring face masks for cruises sailing out of U.S. ports starting March 1, 2022.
“Our cruises will operate with 100% vaccination of crew and guests age five and over, therefore face coverings are not required while onboard,” the company said in a statement.
“However, we recognize the added protections provided when wearing a mask covering and recommend that all guests do so onboard when indoors, except when actively eating or drinking, or seated at a table in a dining setting, or when in their stateroom. Mask coverings are also recommended outdoors when physical distancing of at least six (6) feet cannot be maintained. The decision to wear a mask covering when onboard is at the discretion of each guest.”
