description In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the European Union Joint Action HEALTHY GATEWAYS developed guidelines for cruise operators and authorities to restart operations and provide common COVID-19 public health preparedness and response standards. In February 2022 under the Joint Action framework, a COVID-19 outbreak onboard a cruise ship was analysed, applying the Intra-Action Review (IAR) methodology at a European level. Participants included national public health authorities and local port health authorities involved in the event response, as well as cruise line representatives. Good practices and challenges observed during the COVID-19 event are presented. Moreover, we documented the lessons learned which provided the basis for proposed revisions to future versions of HEALTHY GATEWAYS guidelines.
