Scotland’s controversial ban on cruise ship calls looks set to be repealed next week – with industry association Clia voicing its delight.

The Scottish government will provide £3.5 million in grants for outbound travel agents

First minister Nicola Sturgeon announced on Tuesday (13 July) all parts of Scotland would move to a “modified” version of the country’s “level zero” Covid restrictions from 19 July.

The decision paves the way for the block on cruising to be lifted after a Scottish government spokesperson confirmed last month calls would only be permitted “when all of Scotland” had reached “level one” restrictions.
