*Provisionally Green: Ship meets the surveillance criteria for “Green” status, but the ship has not submitted a signed attestation to CDC for crew to travel commercially.

^¥Commercial Travel Allowed: Allowed for ships that are “Green” and have submitted a signed attestation to CDC for crew to travel commercially.

Note: The above list includes cruise ships operating in U.S. waters or seeking to operate in U.S. waters during the initial phases of the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the process for crew disembarkation under the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order different from the process during the No Sail Order period?

No, the process for crew disembarkation required during the No Sail Order period remains the same during the initial phases of the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order.

Why is CDC requiring ships to test all crew members during the initial phases of the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order, including those on “Green” ships?

The purpose of testing during the initial phases of the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order is to ensure cruise ship operators have adequate health and safety protections for crew members while they build the onboard laboratory capacity needed to test crew and future passengers. CDC’s guidance under the previous No Sail Order recommended routine testing of crew. However, only 1% of crew aboard ships were tested for COVID-19 during the period of the No Sail Order.

What steps is CDC taking to make sure ships stay in compliance with the criteria for commercial transport of crew?

CDC will review weekly surveillance data provided by ships, and only those ships that continue to report no cases of COVID-19 or COVID-like illness will maintain this status.

How can crew members being repatriated from outside the United States return home within the United States?

As long as the crew member’s ship does not return (or intend to return) to U.S. waters during the period of the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order, CDC’s crew repatriation requirements do not apply. The crew member’s company may book the crew member a commercial flight to the United States for repatriation, although travel should be delayed if crew members are symptomatic, have tested positive for COVID-19, were exposed to a person with COVID-19, or are waiting for results of a COVID-19 viral test. Crew members will be subject to applicable U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and airline requirements. Additionally, some state, territorial, tribal, and localexternal icon government jurisdictions may have their own recommendations or requirements for travelers arriving in their jurisdictions. The U.S. Department of State advises U.S. citizens abroad to contact their nearest U.S. embassy or consulate for assistance returning to the United States. For more information, crew members can visit the U.S. Department of State cruise ship passengers pageexternal icon.

After arriving in the United States, crew members should take routine precautions to protect others from COVID-19. As cruise travel is considered high risk for COVID-19, returning crew members should take additional precautions, including staying home for and getting tested for COVID-19.

What other changes can cruise ships make if they meet these criteria?

CDC is committed to helping cruise lines provide for the safety and well-being of their crew members onboard. As cruise ships are able to show they have no cases of confirmed COVID-19 or COVID-like illnesses onboard, crew members will be able to resume some of their daily interactions with fellow crew members.

Some examples of decreased restrictions on cruise ships if they meet these criteria include resuming in-person meetings, events, and social gatherings; reopening bars, gyms, or other group settings onboard for crew member use; and removing requirements to wear face coverings.

Can crew members on board “Green” ships that are currently in lay-up status in the United States be granted shore leave (leave the ship temporarily) while they wait to disembark?

No. CDC data and other available information about COVID-19 and cruise ships show that it is difficult to eliminate COVID-19 from cruise ships, even with no passengers and a reduced number of crew on board. Therefore, it is not permitted for crew to go ashore and return to the ship without undergoing a 14-day quarantine after boarding.

Can crew members disembark if their ship does not have “Green” status? If so, what is needed?

CDC’s Framework for Conditional Sailing Order and disembarkation process apply to cruise ships within U.S. waters. CDC permits cruise ships within U.S. jurisdiction to disembark their crew members if the cruise line signs an attestation stating that the cruise line has complied with all requirements for the safe disembarkation of crew.

Ships of cruise lines that have not had any COVID-19 cases or COVID-like illness in the last 28 days (“Green” ships) may be eligible to disembark crew by commercial means (for example, commercial airline flights, ferries, taxis, ride-share services, etc.).

Ships that do not have “Green” status must meet requirements to disembark crew, including:

• Ensure safe transportation by noncommercial means (for example, private or charter flights, personal vehicles, etc. – NOT public transportation of any kind)
• Provide masks to crew members or ensuring they have their own
• Provide instructions to crew members to follow CDC’s after you travel internationally recommendations after they reach their destination

What does it mean if a cruise line or cruise ship is not listed on the table above?

If a cruise line or cruise ship is not listed, it means it is not operating and does not plan to operate in U.S. waters during the initial phases of the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order.
