UK ocean cruise leaders have reacted positively to news that domestic sailings could restart as early as mid-May.

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

Aviation and maritime minister Robert Courts told the All Party Parliamentary Maritime and Ports Group on Monday (8 March) that government was working on "a pathway to the domestic cruise market reopening” from 17 May.

A Department for Transport spokesperson later told TTG the restart of domestic cruises in England “will be aligned with the wider resumption of the domestic tourism and indoor hospitality sectors”.
