Roberts, vice-president UK and Europe at Princess Cruises, said government confirmation that cruises in UK waters could restart from 17 May had given the industry “reassurance” to put plans in place to welcome back guests this summer.
Speaking during a Clia media call on Thursday (11 March), he described how domestic sailings would help "build a body of evidence" for the industry to prove the effectiveness of new health and safety protocols to the UK government and authorities in Europe.
