GALVESTON LEADING NATION IN RESUMING SAFE, SUSTAINABLE SAILINGS

Galveston, TX (May 14, 2021) – The Port of Galveston, the fourth most popular cruise homeport in North America, is scheduled to be the first U.S. port to welcome cruise passengers with a Carnival Cruise Line (CCL) sailing planned for July 3. The cruise line announced that it is planning to begin sailings in July aboard the Carnival Breeze and Carnival Vista. Both ships are currently in Galveston.


“We’re proud that Carnival Cruise Line chose Galveston to be the first port to resume sailing in the U.S.,” said Rodger Rees, Galveston Wharves port director and CEO. “This decision will have a huge impact on our regional and state economy.”


In other cruise news, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) recently announced that it is sailing its newest class of ship from Galveston in October 2022, and Royal Caribbean International (RCI) will soon begin construction of a third cruise terminal at the Port of Galveston. The $110 million terminal will be home to RCI’s largest and most spectacular Oasis Class ship, Allure of the Seas, beginning in late 2022.


“Cruising is coming back to Texas, and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever,” Rees said.


Port officials have been continuously working with cruise industry partners, as well as federal as federal, state and local regulatory and public health authorities to develop a plan to resume safe, sustainable sailing.

Since the global health crisis prompted the suspension of cruise sailings more than a year ago, the port also has used that time productively to prepare for the resumption of cruising.


The port voluntarily invested $100,000 in health and safety upgrades in its two cruise terminals and made other improvements. Port officials also have been involved in regular discussions with cruise industry leaders to raise awareness among elected officials, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other decision-makers about the critical importance of getting the U.S. cruise industry sailing again.


WELCOME NORWEGIAN PRIMA

On May 12, the Galveston Wharves announced that Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Prima would set sail from the Port of Galveston in the fall of 2022. This is the cruise line’s first new class of ships in nearly 10 years and the first NCL ship to set sail from Galveston.


The ship’s visit to Galveston, the only cruise port in Texas, is part of a larger effort to debut its newest ship in a number of major markets. Galveston is a major drive-to market with 30 million people living within a 300-mile radius.


On Oct. 15 the 140,000-ton, 3,215-passenger Norwegian Prima will depart from New York on a 13-day Caribbean itinerary with calls to Willemstad, Curacao; Kralendijk, Bonaire; Oranjestad, Aruba. On Oct. 31, the Norwegian Prima will begin her Caribbean season departing from Galveston, TX, to Miami on a 12-day itinerary


Port officials are in discussions with the cruise line and hope to pen a Memorandum of Understanding regarding a long-term strategy beginning November 2023 soon.


THIRD CRUISE TERMINAL

Royal Caribbean International (RCI) will soon begin construction of a third cruise terminal at the Port of Galveston’s Pier 10. RCI is targeting completion in late 2022 when the first Oasis Class ship is scheduled to sail from the new terminal. Allure of the Seas, one of the largest cruise ships in the world, will carry 6,000 passengers, plus about 3,000 crewmembers.

The project will generate an estimated 400 Texas construction jobs and 400 local operations jobs. The terminal will feature state-of-the-art technology, including mobile check-in and will be designed and developed sustainably to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification standards.


About Galveston Wharves at Port of Galveston

Located at the entrance to Galveston Bay and the Houston Ship Channel, Galveston Wharves has been a thriving maritime commercial center since 1825. Just 45 minutes from open seas, the 840-acre port has infrastructure and assets to serve growing cruise, cargo and commercial businesses. As the fourth most popular U.S. cruise port, it welcomed more than 1 million cruise passengers in 2019. Also one of the busiest in Texas, the port moved 4.3 million tons of cargo in 2020 and has an estimated annual state economic impact of $2.1 billion.

MSC Seaside to join MSC Grandiosa from May 1, with a newly-designed itinerary
MSC Grandiosa to also extend her current West Mediterranean itinerary through to the end of May
MSC Cruises confirms planned East Mediterranean itineraries from May and in the West Mediterranean from June

03/01/2021
Geneva, Switzerland –March 1, 2021 –MSC Cruises today announced that one of its most innovative ships, MSC Seaside, will be deployed for the first time in Europe since her launch in 2017, joining the Company’s flagship, MSC Grandiosa, in the Mediterranean from May 1, 2021.



MSC Seaside will be performing a brand-new itinerary featuring 7-night cruises calling Genoa, Valetta in Malta and Civitavecchia, with two first time ports of call – Siracusa in Sicily and Taranto in Puglia.



MSC Seaside will implement for the protections of its guests and crew MSC Cruises’ industry-leading health and safety protocol that has been tried and tested since August 2020. Measures will include universal testing at embarkation as well as mid-cruise, weekly testing of crew, social distancing, the wearing of masks in public areas, only protected shore excursions as well as enhanced deep sanitation and ongoing cleaning procedures.

RCL HVAC System

Dear valued Travel Partners,

There's nothing like breathing fresh air while cruising the open ocean. But what happens once you step inside a cruise ship — how does the air flow into your stateroom, restaurant and other spaces on board? This is precisely what Royal Caribbean Group wanted to confirm and understand in detail.

Enter the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) and National Strategic Research Institute (NSRI), with the support of the Healthy Sail Panel, globally recognized experts in medical practice and research, public health, infectious diseases, biosecurity, hospitality and maritime operations to recommend the most effective, scientifically sound ways to make the cruise experience healthier and safer. The team from UNMC and NSRI — specialists in bioaerosols (the study of airborne particles) and more recently worked with the U.S. Department of Defense on the study of air flow on airplanes — boarded a Royal Caribbean Group ship while berthed in Miami in July 2020. The scientists set out to determine the efficiency and effectiveness of the ship's air management as well as understand how aerosols pass through the HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system.

Their work confirmed that under the current HVAC system the transmission of aerosol particles between spaces through the air handling system is exceptionally low and undetectable both on surfaces and in the air in most test cases. This is thanks to the robust and efficient system originally designed into the ship for maximum ventilation, continual fresh air intake and filtration. To add layers of safety and further minimize the possibility of spread, the team recommended adjusting shipboard settings to allow for the maximum air changes per hour and upgrading to MERV 13 filters throughout the system. In the medical facility, already equipped with an independent ventilation system, HEPA filters have been added for extra precaution.


"Our existing HVAC system is designed with several layers to continuously bring in the ocean air and filter it multiple times before it reaches our guests and crew. We are glad to see the study conclude that our robust system is effective in reducing transmission,” said Patrik Dahlgren, Royal Caribbean Group’s senior vice president of Global Marine Operations and a member of the Healthy Sail Panel. "By taking a scientific approach and implementing recommendations made by the experts at University of Nebraska Medical Center and the National Strategic Research Institute, we’ve created an environment that is even safer for our guests and crew. And we’ve done so without compromising their comfort — which is always front of mind because this is our guests’ vacations and our crew’s home at sea."

The study by UNMC and NSRI scientists, conducted in July 2020, helped inform the Healthy Sail Panel’s 74 detailed best practices to safeguard the health of guests, crew and communities cruise ships visit. Upgrading HVAC systems was among the critical recommendations outlined in a 65-plus-page report submitted in September. The robust set of measures put forth by the panel and adopted by the cruise industry as a whole is rooted in science, data-driven and developed with guidance from specialists, such as UNMC and NSRI bioaerosol team, public health authorities around the world and Royal Caribbean Group’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Calvin Johnson.

Royal Caribbean Group is built on innovation, relentless attention to detail and commitment to exceeding your clients’ expectations. With effective air management and by upgrading supply and exhaust filters to MERV 13 — coupled with everyone taking part in keeping each other as safe as possible by adopting today’s common best practices — the potential of a virus like COVID-19 spreading on board is even lower. There’s no more important investment in this ever-changing world than the health and safety of your clients — our guests, crew and the communities we visit.
