Celebrity Lowers Vaccine Age Requirement, Independent Shore Excursions Allowed

Celebrity Cruises has adjusted several onboard health and safety protocols for its upcoming international sailings -- and information on its U.S. restart could come as soon as next week. "We are going to do vaccinated guests no matter what," said Celebrity VP of Sales Dondra Ritzenthaler . "We want to be so smart and so safe to make sure that every guest who comes onboard is immediately comfortable." To that end, the line's vaccine requirement has been extended to passengers who are 16 and 17 years old. She said the line was also considering requiring vaccines for guests ages 12 to 15. Second, vaccinated passengers will be able to go ashore on their own without taking a ship-sponsored excursion, if the port allows it, Ritzenthaler said. Because guidelines with COVID-19 are often changing, the ship will let passengers know when they are onboard if they need to stick with a cruise line excursion or wear a mask in port, she said.
