Pressed on his hopes for a resumption of international cruising during an interview with BBC Radio’s Today programme on Thursday (22 July), Stace said there was sufficient evidence underlining the safety of cruising under new Covid protocols to sway the Foreign Office.
"It should happen at the end of July. That’s the timetable," said Stace. "We’re hoping to cruise [internationally] from the beginning of September, which gives us a little bit of flex in case there is a day or two’s delay in that decision. But we are very hopeful that will happen."
