OFFICAL ANNOUNCEMENT! NO CRUISES FROM US UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2020!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides a comprehensive update on the cruise industry following major announcements regarding pandemic-related disruptions. The Cruise Lines International Association has announced that its members will voluntarily extend the suspension of US port operations until September 15, 2020. Norwegian Cruise Line is canceling fleet-wide cruises through August 31, though it is attempting to maintain select Alaska itineraries for September. Carnival Corporation plans to accelerate the removal of six ships from its fleet, with leadership suggesting the industry will eventually sail with fewer ships and visit fewer ports. Virgin Voyages has introduced the Voyage Well program, which includes extensive health protocols such as thermal camera technology, UV sanitation, and enhanced air purification systems. Additionally, the creator explains the CDC's new color-coded system designed to manage crew repatriation based on a ship's infection status. While most vessels are currently in provisional status, the system provides a framework for determining when ships can safely return to service.
