COVID Safe Cruise Contact Tracing Onboard - Singapore Experience

Back to Summary

Contact tracing

Passengers onboard Quantum of the Seas departing Singapore must download a contact tracing app on their phone, they must wear a physical token.
TraceTogether is a tracing app which the Singapore Government had implemented to allow for better contact tracing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore.



The system was initially an app downloaded on your phone and was later supplemented by a physical token. The token and the app both work offline but using Bluetooth technology, and records the token ID of others in close contact of guests above a certain time.



Passengers will be provided a wearable piece of technology called a "Tracelet", which will assist in contact tracing onboard. Guests will be required to have the Tracelet, TraceTogether Token/App active always throughout the voyage. Crew members will also be required to participate in this contact tracing process.
