March 10, 2021 By Cruise Critic Staff

(Updated 11:33 a.m. EST) — Cruise lines have temporarily suspended operations worldwide and altered future sailings globally as the coronavirus pandemic continues to grip the world.The U.S. State Department has a Global Level 4 “do not travel” health advisory for travel abroad, the U.K.’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advises against ocean cruise travel, but allowing travel on river cruises and Australia and New Zealand have shut their borders, with this year’s cruise season cancelled for most lines.Cruise lines have reacted by relaxing their cancellation and postponement policies, allowing concerned passengers to cancel — in some cases — up to 24 hours before departure.On October 30, 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suspended its no sail order on all cruise ships over 250 passengers and crew that operate in U.S. waters allowing lines to technically restart cruising in November, 2020.However, the CDC put in place a strict set of health protocols which raise more questions than answers and has led to lines further suspending operations, with the earliest likely restart in May 2021.

Industry-Wide Travel Restrictions

On March 13, 2020 Cruise Lines International Association, the industry’s largest trade association, announced all its member cruise lines would voluntarily suspend cruise ship operations from for 30 days. This was later extended until July 24, 2020. On June 19th, CLIA extended the suspension through September 15th for ships departing U.S. ports and released the following statement:”Due to the ongoing situation within the U.S. related to COVID-19, CLIA member cruise lines have decided to voluntarily extend the period of suspended passenger operations. The current No Sail Order issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will expire on 24 July, and although we had hoped that cruise activity could resume as soon as possible after that date, it is increasingly clear that more time will be needed to resolve barriers to resumption in the United States.”Although we are confident that future cruises will be healthy and safe, and will fully reflect the latest protective measures, we also feel that it is appropriate to err on the side of caution to help ensure the best interests of our passengers and crewmembers. We have therefore decided to further extend our suspension of operations from U.S. ports until 15 September. The additional time will also allow us to consult with the CDC on measures that will be appropriate for the eventual resumption of cruise operations.””This voluntary suspension applies to all CLIA members to which the No Sail Order applied (vessels with capacity to carry 250 persons or more). CLIA member cruise lines will continually evaluate the evolving situation and make a determination as to whether a further extension is necessary.”This voluntary suspension was further extended until October 31. Technically, cruise lines can now resume operations from U.S. ports, but most have indicated a restart date of Mayl 1 or beyond.
