The Cruise Lines International Association announced they are extending the suspension of cruise operations until at least November.

“Committed to the health and safety of passengers and crew, CLIA ocean-going cruise line members are announcing a third voluntary suspension of U.S. cruise operations until 31 October 2020,” a statement from the organization said.

The cancellations go beyond the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s no sail order, which bans cruising in U.S. waters until at least Oct. 1.

The no sail order was put in place because the CDC director believed that cruise ship travel would continue to introduce, transmit and spread COVID-19.
