The CDC last month warned against all cruise ship travel.
Walensky didn't provide an updated figure on cases aboard cruise ships on Tuesday.
So far, certain ships have been operating under the CDC's conditional sailing order, which sets safety procedures like mandated testing for foreign-operated cruise ships operating in American water. The order has been in place with slight modifications since Oct. 2020. Walensky said she doesn't believe the order, which is expected to expire after Jan. 15, will be renewed. But the agency expects to shift to a voluntary program, working alongside cruise lines. Walensky said she hopes"the cruise ship industries will continue to understand that this is a really safe practice for those industries."
