Carnival Corp brands extend Australasia cruise pause

Carnival Cruise Line and P&O Cruises Australia will now resume operations from 2 December, while Princess Cruises is now targeting a 12 December resumption.

The move will affect Carnival Spirit and Carnival Splendor departures, which had previously been placed on pause until 29 October. Guests and agents are being notified.

"Carnival will resume cruising when the time is right and will do so with enhanced health measures developed in conjunction with government authorities, public health experts, local ports of call and the Clia," said the line in a statement.
