Every cruise ship operating in Australia owned by Carnival Corporation will now require passengers to wear masks indoors amid concerns over the nation's fourth COVID-19 wave.
Earlier 9news.com.au reported that Carnival Cruises had reintroduced mandatory mask wearing. It can now be confirmed that entire fleet owned by the company will implement the measures.
Months after the mandate was scrapped for guests, cruise management said that "out of an abundance of caution" the health measure would return to "adapt to the evolving public health situation".
Carnival Corporation brands include: P&O Cruises Australia, Princess Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Cunard, Holland America Line, Seabourn and P&O Cruises World Cruising.
Masks are now required onboard in all public indoor spaces, outdoors when in large groups where physical distancing cannot be secured and also during the entire embarkation and debarkation process.
They are not required when eating or drinking however.
