CRUISE NEWS - MORE CRUISES CANCELLED

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses the current state of the cruise industry, highlighting a contrast between developments in Australia and North America. In Australia, significant cancellations are occurring for Royal Caribbean, P&O Cruises, and Princess Cruises, which effectively eliminates the Australian cruise season for a second consecutive year. The creator attributes this to a lack of clear guidance from the Australian government regarding a phased restart. While international travel to Australia is becoming permitted, domestic cruising remains restricted. Conversely, the creator notes positive trends in North America, including the relaxation of certain CDC guidelines and a shift toward allowing the cruise industry to regulate itself. The video also highlights upcoming naming ceremonies for four new ships, including the Apex, Odyssey of the Seas, and MSC Seashore. Finally, the creator touches on Royal Caribbean's Icon class, noting the significant milestone of installing LNG fuel tanks on the new vessel, which is expected to debut in the fall of 2023.
