UK-based cruise lines could begin making plans to restart international sailings “from the second half of the summer”, the boss of Marella Cruises has predicted.

Marella has extended its cruise pause to 30 June

Chris Hackney said his line’s recently announced season of domestic cruises would call within the UK through to the end of August – by which time he hoped there would be more clarity on overseas sailings.

“I think as the summer progresses and we get towards the end of this year, we’re still hopeful that international cruises will be possible,” he told TTG.
