How to protect yourself from corona on the cruise ship

The corona virus is worldwide – and yet special in some regions. It is surprising, however, that cruise ships in particular suffer from it. Many people are in a confined space and share many common areas. The German Federal Foreign Office also points to an increased quarantine risk on cruise ships.

This post is about how you can best protect yourself against Corona on the cruise ship and what things you should currently have with you. Plus, you are currently aware that routes may be changed or ports may not be approached.

This guide applies not only to Corona, but is a general safety guide against bacteria and viruses on the cruise ship (including noroviruses). You do not have to implement all measures in every situation, but you should be aware of the dangers lurking everywhere.
