THE British Government’s revised Brexit deal still leaves uncertainty around border provisions, according to senior Cunard executive David Rousham, with cruise lines wary of potential impacts on disembarkation procedures and shore tours.
At the World’s Leading Cruise Lines Next Wave Summit on the weekend, the Cunard VP of UK Sales and Int’l Development said tighter passport controls were likely, but the precise impact remained unclear despite the publication of 550 pages on the Brexit deal.
“Will Brexit have an affect? I think it will,” Rousham said.
“How much? We don’t know.
“We are fighting very hard politically to make sure that border controls – which we see as being the biggest issue – are not negative for things like shore excursions,” Rousham said.
