Speaking via a pre-recorded video during the 2022 Clia Conference onboard P&O Cruises’ Iona on Saturday (21 May), Courts said he was "incredibly pleased" to see cruise lines return to a "full and busy" summer season.
"Thank you for your outstanding work and continued resilience throughout the pandemic," he said. "I am absolutely delighted to see the sector bounce back in the way it has, but it is down to your tireless effort that the cruise industry continues to be a key contributor to the UK economy."
