The CDC is advising people to avoid traveling on cruise ships, regardless of vaccination status, due to the high risk of COVID-19 infection onboard.

Its updated guidance stresses that those who are not fully vaccinated or boosted should not embark on a cruise trip. Unvaccinated passengers or those who have not received the second dose of a two-shot regimen, like those required for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, are now also being asked to self-quarantine for a full five days after cruise travel.

Cruise lines have not announced any plans to halt cruising. And the CDC did not say whether it planned to extend the expiration date of a set of rules that cruises must follow to sail during the pandemic. The regulation, called a conditional sailing order, is scheduled to expire on Jan. 15 to become a voluntary program.

None of the ships so far appear to have so many cases that they would overwhelm medical resources on board and require a return to port. But some have been denied entry at some foreign ports.
