Earlier today I shared my opinion that even with the new legislation expected to take effect, Alaska cruises are going to be a long shot. Moments later, an announcement from Carnival Corp announcing Alaska 2021 on Holland America and Princess proved me wrong. Not surprisingly, they must know something I don’t about what the CDC has in mind for US based cruises this Summer and Fall.

Statement regarding Alaska 2021 on Holland America

Following passage of the Alaska Tourism Restoration Act, work with Alaska government officials, and recent guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Holland America Line is announcing plans to restart cruising to Alaska in July roundtrip from Seattle, Washington, aboard Nieuw Amsterdam. Plans for these cruises to fulfill Holland America Line’s obligations under the Passenger Vessel Services Act (PVSA) are expected to be approved, as are final instructions from CDC, and the company is beginning the return-to-cruising preparation process effective immediately.

Holland America
