Royal Caribbean's new Odyssey of the Seas cruise ship will be setting sail in May as its first "fully vaccinated" trip.
Monday's announcement represents several firsts: the new ship's first trip, Royal Caribbean's first voyage from Israel, and the company's first cruise with a vaccination requirement.
Both crew and guests over the age of 16 will have to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to be on the cruise.
Starting in May, roundtrip sailings will depart from Haifa, Israel with a combination of 3 to 7-night Mediterranean escapes.
