Costa Cruises Health & Safety Protocols

Costa Cruises Health & Safety Protocols

Costa Cruises combines traditional Italian hospitality with contemporary international safety standards across its fleet. Following the lifting of universal travel restrictions, Costa focuses its health framework on digital efficiency, professional shipboard medical services, and preventative sanitation practices.

• Digital Health Assessment: Passengers complete an online web check-in process prior to departure, which includes digital health acknowledgment details before boarding pass issuance.
• Onboard Medical Care: Every ship features a staffed medical center operating with licensed doctors and nurses. These facilities meet American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) guidelines, providing 24/7 emergency response alongside scheduled daily clinical hours.
• Sanitation and Disinfection: Public areas, high-traffic corridors, and staterooms undergo continuous cleaning utilizing certified disinfectant detergents. Hand sanitizing stations are distributed at main dining venues, lounges, and gangways.
• Gastrointestinal Prevention: To prevent the transmission of common seasonal or maritime illnesses, crews enforce specialized sanitation operations, including targeted surface disinfection and hand-hygiene guidelines for guests and shipboard personnel.
• Sailing Age and Pregnancy Restrictions: Infants must be at least 6 months old to board, increasing to 12 months for transoceanic Grand Voyages, World Cruises, or itineraries exceeding 15 days. For maternal safety, Costa cannot accommodate passengers entering or exceeding their 24th week of pregnancy during the sailing.
