Cruise Line News | NCL Announces Safety Precautions And Alaska Updates

Cruising is coming back! Today we are bringing you some new and exciting cruise line news. Finally we are getting some direction on cruising post covid-19 as NCL announces safety precautions and Alaska updates are our main topics.

We have been speculating what dining will look like, will buffets be open and if they will reduce capacity. NCL cruise line news big announcement covers it all. The new Norwegians Peace of Mind policy has 6 main areas all focused on passenger and crew safety. They are installing a new air filtration system, there will be enhanced screening protocols, social distancing, increased sanitation, more medical resources on board, and enhanced ship to shore safety.

Many people are asking when will cruise ships sail again? Well we have some direction from the Minister of Transportation in Canada. No cruise ships with overnight accommodations  that can carry more than 100 passengers are allowed until after October 31st, 2020.  This will affect all cruises sailing to Alaska as they stop in Vancouver. There were also hundreds of ships that were supposed to sail to Eastern Canada. This is disappointing for people who had an Alaska cruise booked. This decision was made with peoples healthy and safety in mind but it is still upsetting to communities and travellers.
