Cruise Operations Paused

Cruise Operations Paused Until at Least May 2021

Princess Cruises and Holland America Line have announced they will pause their cruise operations until at least May 2021.

Princess Cruises said that due to the uncertainty around current travel restrictions, the company is extending its pause of sailings through May 14, 2021. This includes sailings in the Caribbean, along the California Coast and early season Alaska and Europe cruises. The company said that it would continue to prepare and develop its plans to meet the “Framework for Conditional Sailing Order” issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Holland America Line said it is extending its pause of cruise operations for all departures through April 30, 2021, including Alaska, Mexican Riviera, Pacific Coast, Caribbean, Mediterranean and Canada/New England departures. It is also canceling sailings through mid-May, Alaska departures on three ships through early June, any Land+Sea Journeys connected with canceled Alaska sailings, Mediterranean cruises through early June and Zaandam’s Canada/New England itineraries through August.

Cruises have been hard hit by lower travel demand during the Covid-19 pandemic. Several cruises were hotspots for Covid-19 early in 2020 when the virus was just getting started. Some cruise ships were stranded after breakouts aboard.

These announcements from Holland America and Princess come after Carnival Cruise Line and Norwegian also made similar moves. Carnival has announced the extension of its pause in United States operations through March 31. Norwegian has paused operations on the Norwegian Encore, Escape and Joy through March 31 as well.
