With virtually every cruiseline around the globe moored in port, what will it take for guests to return in the near future given the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic?

While it remains uncertain what the future holds for the cruiseline industry, one thing that is certain, without an effective vaccine and antiviral treatment, the risk for many may be too great.

So where does this leave the industry? A review of many of the listed cruiselines at Where2go2.com shows that a majority are still planning ahead and even offering guests with the option to continue to make payments for future travel.

If we are on pause for the next year or so waiting for that next cruise and one can afford to, why not plan ahead. Once the travel industry normalizes, there will be a long and overdue need for many to take a well deserved vacation.
