(Alliance News) - Carnival PLC on Tuesday said its Holland America Line is extending its pause of cruise operations to now include all of June's planned round trip sailings to Alaska from Seattle.
This includes six cruises on Eurodam and Oosterdam with a call at Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
Additionally, Princess Cruises is extending its pause of cruise vacations for sailings from Seattle through to June 27, 2021. The pause in operation affects seven-day Alaska Inside Passage cruises on Emerald Princess and Majestic Princess.
For those booked on a cancelled voyage, Princess will offer an equivalent cruise in 2022.
Carnival earlier on Tuesday said its Cunard unit will kick off sales for its new 2023 itineraries on Wednesday.
The Florida, US-based travel leisure company said sailings will included ships Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth.
The trips are to commemorate 100 years of world voyages with two centenary sailings.
