Hurtigruten has put its expedition cruiseships back into lay-up following a coronavirus outbreak on the 21,800-gt expedition cruiseship Roald Amundsen (built 2019).
The Norwegian cruiseship and ferry operator's chief executive, Daniel Skjeldam, described the decision to suspend the recently relaunched cruises until further notice as being “the only responsible choice”.
With other cruise-linked coronavirus outbreaks occurring elsewhere, more industry players attempting a comeback could be forced to follow suit.
