Fire fighters and other first responders in Australia and California will soon get to enjoy free cruises on board two Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCCL) ships that are being exiled from Asia due to the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak.
The Miami-based cruise giant said over the weekend that it was redeploying its 91,000-gt cruiseship Celebrity Millennium (built 2000) to California and its 169,000-gt Spectrum of the Seas (built 2019) to Australia where both ships would operate free cruises for fire-fighters and first-responders fighting bush fires that have devastated both regions.
