Caroline Nokes, MP for Romsey and Southampton North, said international travel advice for cruising should be aligned with that for aviation.
She has called on aviation and maritime minister Robert Courts to work with colleagues across government to soften the Foreign Office’s (FCDO) stance on cruise.
"The cruise industry is a significant employer in the Southampton area, but British travellers are still advised by the FCDO against cruising – even as advice on flying is set to be relaxed along with eased restrictions," said Nokes in the Commons on Thursday (29 April).
