Roadmap step four – will start no earlier than 21 June. During step four, the government hopes the country has made enough steps in its vaccination process to remove all legal limits on social contact. This includes lifting capacity limits for domestic cruises.

The good news for the cruise lines is that if everything goes well and the government agrees to step four, the vessels will sail full capacity already in June. According to the government’s orders, the cruise lines can legally remove any social distancing measures or even the need for wearing masks.
