Vulnerable people should avoid cruises regardless of vaccination status, CDC advises

Vulnerable travellers should avoid cruises regardless of their vaccination status, according to advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

International trips were cancelled for over a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic and although some are back up and running, there have been outbreaks on board a number of ships.

In an update to their guidance, the CDC is now advising those who are at risk of getting "severely ill" from Covid-19 should avoid going on a cruise, regardless of their vaccination status.
