Richard Fain: Royal’s Sailings During COVID-19 are a proof of concept

Royal Caribbean Group CEO Richard Fain said out of the more than 100,000 guests on over 150 cruises the company has carried during the pandemic, only 10 people tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. Royal's two jointly owned lines, Hapag-Lloyd and Tui, launched cruises in Europe and the Canary Islands last summer, and Royal Caribbean International has been operating cruises out of Singapore since DEC. Fain called this experience "a very powerful proof of concept. In essence, we've just had 100,000 test cruises and demonstrated that the process works. Yippee!"
