(TAN): Carnival Cruise Line said it will return to guest operations from Port of Galveston on July 3 with Carnival Vista, followed by the return of operations on Carnival Breeze on July 15. These cruises are available for guests who have received their final dose of a CDC-approved Covid-19 vaccine at least 14 days prior to the beginning of the cruise and have proof of vaccination, in accordance with current guidelines from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“We appreciate the progress and support for our US restart from the CDC and other key federal agencies; however, the current CDC requirements for cruising with a guest base that is unvaccinated will make it very difficult to deliver the experience our guests expect, especially given the large number of families with younger children who sail with us. As a result, our alternative is to operate our ships from the US during the month of July with vaccinated guests,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
Carnival will be advising guests and travel advisors about its plans for August sailings over the coming days.
