The vaccine requirement is one of the many layers of measures that safeguard the well-being of our guests and crew. These measures are part of the cruise line’s Royal Promise commitment and also includes our fully vaccinated crew, the robust onboard ventilation system, enhanced cleaning and sanitization. Royal Caribbean will continue to evaluate and update its measures as circumstances evolve with various government and health authorities.

“Cruising is a popular holiday vacation choice for Hong Kong residents, and we at Royal Caribbean are delighted to welcome the Government’s plan to re-open the world-class Kai Tak Cruise Terminal and offer an exciting and safe option for the people of Hong Kong on Spectrum of the Seas,” says Crystal Campbell, Managing Director, Royal Caribbean International, Hong Kong.

“The demand of travel from travelers is expected to be very strong and we are very excited to have cruise holiday back with us for both trade and tourists given the current travel restrictions, which will be definitely a truly fun-filled yet safe holiday experience while the Cruise industry is getting resumed soon.” said Jason Wong, Chairman of Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong.
