What are the regulations for passengers on Singapore destination cruise ships?

Under the COVID-19 epidemic, Singapore still maintains very strict entry requirements, so most foreigners cannot easily enter the country, and the number of outbound tourists in Singapore is very small. In this situation, the life of cruise companies and airlines is very difficult, and they can only operate a small number of routine services. In order to boost business and revenue, Singapore is planning to launch? Destination cruise? Business. The Singapore Tourism Board said that it will start to operate a "destination-less" cruise line from next month, using two cruise ships of Genting Hong Kong and Royal Caribbean Company, and will strengthen security measures on the cruise ships to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic. Singapore's Genting Cruises and Royal Caribbean will be part of the safe cruise pilot project. Starting from next month, two cruise ships will sail from Singapore to the high seas and then return. The Singapore Tourism Board said in a statement on Thursday that Genting Cruises' "Dream of the World" and Royal Caribbean International Company's "quantum of the seas" will start their round trip from 10/65438+ in October and 65438+in February respectively. According to CruiseSafe certification scheme, cruise operators and passengers have reached a strict agreement to allow pilotage. These measures include COVID-19 inspection of crew and passengers, strengthening disinfection and fresh air circulation measures, and taking measures on board to prevent close contact and mixing. Ships will sail with 50% less passengers, and this trip is only open to Singapore residents. The Singapore Tourism Board said that a cruise ship safety certification scheme is being formulated, and strict health and safety measures will be formulated during travel. Some of these measures include limiting the passenger capacity of cruise ships to 50%, allowing only domestic residents to participate. It is reported that as part of the CruiseSafe program of STB jointly developed by DNV GL, all passengers must be tested for COVID-19 virus before boarding the ship. Passengers must also observe safety management measures, such as wearing masks and keeping a safe distance of one meter between each group of passengers. This cruise pilot is a valuable opportunity for cruise operators to reshape the entire cruise experience and regain passenger confidence.
