When will we be able to go on a cruise holiday again?

1 ~~~ When will we be able to go on a cruise holiday again?

But as lockdowns lift and countries ease – or plan to ease – coronavirus travel restrictions, here’s a summary of when each cruise line expects to resume sailings, as well as the compensation being offered to guests for cancelled cruises.

Andy Harmer, UK and Ireland director of Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), said: “As we face the prospect of new restrictions impacting our daily lives, we are all being tested, and I’m proud that our cruising community has been stepping up to the challenge. I know that everyone is working around the clock to adapt to the new landscape we find ourselves in, and are making every effort to keep customers informed with updated information, even as developments are seeming to occur so rapidly. Our customers should feel assured that our industry remains focused on their safety, health and well-being.” 

Viking was the first cruise operator to announce it was suspending its river and ocean cruises for a temporary period on March 11, closely followed by Princess Cruises. Practically all other major cruise lines then made similar announcements. On June 1, river cruising returned to Europe as NickoVision set sail in Germany; ocean cruises returned on June 16 as Hurtigruten's Finnmarken set sail along the Norwegian coast.
