All crew and passengers aboard the ship will be fully vaccinated, according to an announcement from Crystal Cruises on Tuesday.

The ship is scheduled to set sail for Bermuda on Sunday, the first of four trips the company has planned for the season.

The ship arrived in the harbor early in order to “clear the last few standard items to get CDC approval,” the announcement said.
