Important Health Information Regarding The Zika Virus

We are writing to provide important health information regarding the Zika virus. To ensure your guests have this latest information, we are communicating this information to all guests. However, any assistance in notifying your clients is greatly appreciated.

Royal Caribbean International is committed to the safety and health of our guests and crew. We have been closely monitoring the Zika virus situation and are aware that the CDC has issued a travel alert for certain countries where Zika virus transmission is ongoing.

Should your client be pregnant and not feel comfortable sailing to countries affected with the Zika virus, we will provide them with alternate itinerary options. This may include providing a future cruise credit valid for two years so that they may re-schedule their voyage for a later date, with no penalty.

In order to reduce the risk of contracting any number of diseases spread by mosquito bite, including Zika virus, we urge our guests to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites by remaining in well screened or air conditioned areas when possible, by wearing light-colored clothing that adequately covers the arms and legs, and by applying insect repellant to both skin and clothing. 

Should you or your client have any additional questions about the Zika virus, please visit the CDC’s website at http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel or the frequently asked questions section of our website.

Thank you for your assistance in notifying and updating your clients about our Zika policy. As always, thank you for your ongoing support of Royal Caribbean International.
