Norwegian Cruise Line recently restarted its cruise operations
on July 25, 2021 following a more
than 500-day suspension, with Norwegian Jade launching seven-day
itineraries to the Greek Isles. On Aug. 7,
2021, Norwegian Encore, the company's newest innovative
ship, will be the first in the fleet to return to service from the
U.S., when she debuts in Seattle
for her inaugural season of Alaska
cruises. The fleetwide redeployment will continue in partnership
with local governments and are guided by the robust protocols of
the Company's SailSAFETM health and safety program,
which at its cornerstone includes that all crew and guests must be
fully vaccinated to embark for voyages through Oct. 31, 2021. Working with the leading experts
of the SailSAFE Global Health and Wellness Council, the robust
protocols will regularly be evaluated and modified as needed,
making science-based decisions to protect guests, crew and the
destinations it visits. As protocols evolve and additional
information becomes available, updates will be published at
www.ncl.com/sail-safe.
