More information about our use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies and your choices are available in ourCookie Policy. We respond to the Global Privacy Control. For information about how to opt out of receiving targeted advertising, please visit ourCookie Policy.

• Special Categories of Personal Data

  Some of the categories of data that we collect in connection with the provision of our Services or through the employment application process may constitute special categories of personal data (also known as sensitive personal data). In particular, we may collect personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious, philosophical, or political beliefs, sexual orientation, or data concerning health, such as medical history or dietary restrictions, if in connection with our provision of Services or through the employment application process.

• Optional Facial Recognition Technology

  Optional facial recognition technology

  On participating ships and with your consent, we may use facial comparison technology to facilitate and expedite your embarkation and/or disembarkation by taking your photograph and matching it against the photograph we collected from you during embarkation. When there is a match, you will be able to board the ship or be checked out of your cruise.

  Separately, we may securely provide your disembarkation photograph to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”), who uses its own facial comparison technology to match the photograph against images of you that CBP already has on file from your passport, other travel documents or prior CBP border inspections. Once we receive verification of your identity from CBP, we will delete your disembarkation photograph immediately. We do not retain your facial recognition data beyond the duration of your cruise or use it for any other purpose other than those described above. If you are a U.S. citizen, CBP will maintain your photograph for no more than 12 hours. For certain non-U.S. citizens, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will store your photograph for a longer period. For more information on how CBP uses your biometric data, please visitwww.cbp.gov/travel/biometrics.

  COVID-19 and global health data

  For the health and safety of our guests and crew, we may process additional personal data during a pandemic or other global health crises. Passengers may be asked to undergo COVID-19 testing and provide us with proof of a negative result, disclose their vaccination status, and/or have their temperature taken. Temperature readings may be collected via thermal imaging cameras located on the gangway.

  If we are made aware that an individual is exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, we may evaluate our transaction data and photographs taken during your cruise and may run facial recognition technology on our CCTV footage to notify the persons who were in close proximity with the affected individual and take appropriate action to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Such steps may include medical examinations, testing, containment, and/or disembarkation of the affected persons.

Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to obligate the entity to which we transfer your personal data to use it in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
  • With your family members, friends, and groups:When you book with a group or charter, we may share booking-related personal data about you with your group leader, such as your contact information so that they may contact you with group activities.
