Seabourn, Holland America Line and Princess Cruises have all been forced to cancel a range of 2021 north American sailings owing to a new interim order from Canada’s transport ministry closing ports and waters to passenger vessels.

Carnival Corporation confirmed on Wednesday (24 February) a number of its brands’ itineraries would be impacted by the order, which runs until 28 February 2022, notably summer 2021 itineraries taking in much of the Pacific coast including Alaska, British Columbia and New England.


Carnival Cruise Line, meanwhile, has extended its pause in operations departing US ports until the end of May. President Christine Duffy said the line would continue to work on plans to resume operations, and highlighted encouraging early signs of increased Covid vaccination.
