Cruise News: 13th Ship Has Norovirus Outbreak, Another Mega Ship Comes to Florida | CruiseRadio.Net
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several significant developments within the cruise industry. Royal Caribbean is preparing to launch Utopia of the Seas, an Oasis class ship powered by liquefied natural gas. The vessel will operate from Port Canaveral and feature short three and four night itineraries that include stops at the private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay. The ship will offer twenty one dining venues, ten of which are complementary. In health news, the CDC confirmed a norovirus outbreak on the Viking Neptune. Approximately thirteen percent of the guests and two percent of the crew reported gastrointestinal symptoms during a voyage from Iceland to New Jersey. Additionally, Norwegian Cruise Line has explained the cancellation of numerous sailings on the Norwegian Spirit. The company has entered a long term charter agreement with Lion Travel to reposition the ship to Asia for 2024. This move will result in the cancellation of most Alaska sailings for next summer and the 2024 to 2025 Australia season. Finally, the report notes that stocks for Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian Cruise Line all saw increases during Tuesday trading.
