(Alliance News) - Carnival PLC on Friday said that several of its brands have cancelled or paused several cruises for the start of 2021.
Holland America Line has extended its pause of cruise operations for all departures through March 31, 2021, as it continues to prepare and develop plans to meet the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order issued by the US Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.
The line will also cancel select longer voyages, and cruises of eight days or longer that call in the US until November 1, 2021.
For the same reason, Princess Cruises has also extended its pause for all cruises sailing through March 31, 2021. All cruises longer than seven days sailing in and out of US ports through the start of November 2021.
