The CDC is removing the travel health notice from cruise ships.

The CDC's removal of the health notice was celebrated by the director of strategic communications and public affairs.

The decision by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to remove the Travel Health Notice for cruising recognizes the effective public health measures in place on cruise ships and begins to level the playing field.

The CDC still recommends Americans to be fully vaccine free before traveling on cruise ships, according to Daigle.

Travelers should stay up to date with their vaccines before traveling on cruise ships, as recommended by the health agency.

The CDC lowered the travel health notice for cruise ships to Level 2, which is a moderate risk. The passenger interactive experiences that were previously under suspension were once again offered by cruise lines.

The CDC's latest move comes as many destinations are lifting COVID-19 mandates and several cruise lines are lifting mask requirements.
