The cruise industry’s voluntary pause in the United States combined with the CDC’s “No Sail” order both now come to end on Oct. 31, meaning the possibility of ships sailing cruises from U.S. ports on Nov. 1 could happen under strict new health and safety protocols.
A number of cruise lines continue to sell early Nov. departures on their websites, as listed below, meaning they could be the first back in service with these ships currently scheduled to sail on Nov. 1.
These cruises continue to have published itineraries calling in various countries, some of which have banned cruise calls until 2021.
