BAD NEWS CRUISE UPDATE : ALASKA CANCELLED, Masks, Kid Ban, River Plans, Vaccines & More
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides an update on the cruise industry, focusing on significant regulatory changes and regional disruptions. A major development is Canada's ban on passenger vessels through February 2022, which likely results in the cancellation of the Alaska cruise season due to U.S. laws requiring ships to visit a foreign port. Regarding health protocols, the creator discusses a new CDC order mandating mask wearing on all forms of transport, including cruise ships. This order requires masks to be worn throughout the entire journey for everyone over the age of two, regardless of vaccination status. Additionally, the creator notes that some U.S. based lines, such as American Streamboat Company and Victory Cruise Lines, are moving toward mandatory vaccinations. The video also addresses misconceptions regarding children, clarifying that a ban currently only applies to specific CDC test cruises rather than general cruising. Finally, the creator examines the outlook for river cruising, noting that many lines are shifting their seasonal starts to later in the year and that the return of North American travelers to Europe will likely depend on the pace of vaccine rollouts.
