More Canada canx

CARNIVAL Corporation’s Holland America Line (HAL), Princess Cruises and Seabourn Cruise Line have announced the cancellation of their 2021 Alaska/ British Columbia voyages.

Princess has also cancelled Canadian voyages sailing roundtrip from the United Kingdom, while newly privatised Azamara has extended its own global suspension until the end of Jun.

Holland America, Princess and Seabourn expressed optimism for the restart of their programs, with HAL and Princess saying it is engaged with various government officials in the United States and Canada to try to preserve a portion of the cancelled voyages.

Princess has committed to operating the Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge this northern summer, which is temporarily closed, along with McKinley Chalet Resort in Denali National Park & Preserve, and Westmark Fairbanks Hotel.

The line is currently working on vacation land package details that will be announced shortly.

“We understand, how much of Alaska is dependent on the cruise economy,” said Princess President Jan Swartz.

“We are going to do all we can to help our business partners and the communities of Alaska.”

Seabourn President Josh Leibowitz added his cruise line’s highest priorities are compliance, environmental protection, & the health, safety and wellbeing of guests, crews and the destinations Seabourn visits.
