Royal Caribbean Extends Cruise Suspension

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - May 20, 2020

Cruise giant Royal Caribbean has extended the suspension of its sailings through July 31, the company announced in a statement.

The cruise pause had initially been slated to run through June 11.

Royal Caribbean said it expected to return to service on Aug. 1, 2020, as the cruise industry continues to reel from the impact of the pandemic.

“We are working with our guests and travel partners to address this disruption to their vacations, and we are genuinely sorry for their inconvenience,” Royal Caribbean said.

Royal Caribbean has been joined by a number of cruise companies that have postponed their cruise operations.
