Passengers Stuck As Norway Cancels Caribbean Trip Due To Covid-19

Many passengers are stuck at sea, as Norwegian Cruise Line cancelled its Caribbean trip mid-voyage due to Covid-19.

A spokesperson for the Norwegian Cruise said;

"As we continue to navigate the fluid public health environment while focusing on delivering a safe experience for all on board, we made the difficult decision to cancel Norwegian Gem’s current Caribbean sailing, due to Covid-related circumstances."

The spokesperson added that the ship would return to New York shortly but did not provide a date.

According to Cruise Industry News, all passengers on the Gem will receive a full refund.

The pandemic has caused a wave of setbacks for the cruise industry, as earlier this month, Norwegian cancelled numerous voyages because of the ongoing travel restrictions.

Royal Caribbean Cruises also called off its Sea cruise that was to leave on January 6 after 9 passengers were exposed to Covid-19.
