The UK cruise sector has welcomed the government’s roadmap for easing lockdown restrictions in England, with a source telling TTG they expected the industry to be represented on the new Global Travel Taskforce.

It comes as the company amassed £700 million in new bookings this year

Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Monday (22 February) a “newly reconstructed” taskforce would be launched to produce a report by 12 April into how international travel should be restarted.

Johnson told MPs that as part of government’s four-step easing strategy, overseas travel would be allowed “no earlier” than 17 May.
