THE US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has extended its “no-sail” order for ships cruising from the USA until 30 Sep.
Previously the ban had been set to lift next Fri 24 Jul, although members of Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) had already announced they would not sail until 15 Sep.
HOWEVER authorities in the UK have modified last week’s updated warning against cruising (TD 10 Jul), now saying it only applies to “sea-going cruise ships”.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office update has heartened river cruise operators, including Scenic which described the move as lifting the “dark clouds” which had been hanging over the sector.
Cruising is the “most sanitised form of holiday you can go on,” said Scenic UK Sales Director Joseph Grimley.
