SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): The Republic's pilot for safe cruises will continue as planned, said the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) on Thursday (Dec 10), adding that the response protocols to Covid-19 cases on board cruise ships are swift and effective.

The comments come after an elderly passenger on board Royal Caribbean International's Quantum of the Seas fell sick and tested positive for Covid-19, forcing the ship to return to Singapore on Wednesday, day three of a four-day voyage.
