In preparation for our upcoming voyage, we’re sharing the latest updates regarding the current coronavirus outbreak in Asia, the response from the cruise industry, and specific protocols enacted at our embarkation port and ports of call.

Below is a summary of the most salient points for JoCo Cruise guests:

• All Holland America Line ships are enacting special industry protocols for addressing coronavirus (including additional onboard environmental disinfection measures).
• Guests who have visited or transited via airports in China, including Hong Kong and Macau, in the 14 days prior to JoCo Cruise (i.e., Feb 22 or later) will be denied boarding.
• Guests who have visited or transited via airports in China, including Hong Kong and Macau, in the 20 days prior to JoCo Cruise (i.e., Feb 16 or later) will not be allowed to disembark the ship at any port in the Bahamas, including Half Moon Cay.

If the above restrictions will directly affect your travel plans, please contact us.

We’ll continue to keep a close eye on the situation, and will send an update should there be any material developments. As ever, the health, safety, and well-being of our Sea Monkeys is of paramount importance to us, and we look forward to having an amazing and healthy JoCo Cruise 2020.

For more information, please see this full statement from CLIA , the Cruise Lines International Association, of which Holland America Line is a member. Additional details can also be found in Holland America’s February 10th health advisory letter (subject to future updates).
