Members of the Cruise Lines Industry Association (CLIA) have voluntarily extended the ban on cruise operations from US ports by nearly two full months to mid-September.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in April imposed a no-sail order for passengerships to 24 July following numerous onboard outbreaks.
The 10 April order ceased cruiseship operation in waters in which the US may exert jurisdiction and required forming an operational plan approved by the CDC and the US Coast Guard to address the pandemic.
