Cruises Are Coming Back. Here’s What They’ll Look Like
Yes, cruising is returning—as soon as June. But it’ll sure look different.
While hotels across the world are struggling to keep the lights on, the cruise industry is already planning for initial trips to depart in several weeks. Amid the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, however, that will look considerably different from what regular cruisers have come to expect. Among other changes, pre-boarding health checks and masks will be in, and self-serve buffets will be out.
Perhaps most notable, the first itineraries won’t get you to a different country each day. Post-pandemic sailing will stay closer to home—or at least, home port.
