episode 762: All Aboard: Is It Safe To Book A Cruise?
It's been two years since the Federal Government implemented a ban on international cruise ships from entering Australian ports following a number of high-profile Covid-19 outbreaks at sea, but from April 17 the restrictions will finally be lifted.
Many of us are desperate to set sail once again, but what's being done to ensure that passengers and crew can safely step on board while coronavirus continues to infect thousands of people every day?
The Quicky speaks to two cruise experts and someone who works on board some of the world's largest vessels to find out everything you need to know before booking your next adventure on the high seas.
