Major Cruise Lines to Suspend Voyages After President’s Request
- Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian included in suspension
- Outbreaks on two sailings underscored the need for action
President Donald Trump said the country’s biggest cruise lines will suspend operations for a month at his request, marking the most sweeping response yet by the industry after a series of coronavirus outbreaks at sea.
In a tweet late Friday, Trump said the shutdown will include market-share leader Carnival Corp., as well as Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. and MSC Cruises.
