rkacruiser Posted May 8, 2020 #2 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Question #1 ought to be, in my opinion, is will it even sail? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Smokeyham Posted May 9, 2020 #3 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I suspect whether or not they even sail will depend on whether or not there is a vaccine available. If not, then I suspect the cruises will not be happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmaster Posted May 9, 2020 #4 Share Posted May 9, 2020 W/O a vaccine, not even worth discussing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other, what I think is a major consideration, is if countries that the cruise is supposed to visit will permit foreign guests to enter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent points! --- Effective vaccine + the willingness of countries to allow cruise ships in. Gary Bembridge has created a very good video on the hurdles that the cruise lines will have to overcome to start cruising again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoncom Posted July 27, 2020 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) On an Oceania WC. O says they will sail 1/2-2/3 full. Holland should have less wheelchairs and walkers. Edited July 27, 2020 by zoncom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi13 Posted July 28, 2020 #8 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Having completed a 2020 WC that didn't get into many ports, I would be very surprised if many, if any 2021 WC's actually sail. Viking Ocean cancelled the 2021 WC last week, since getting into ports was unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Tom Posted July 31, 2020 #9 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I'm pretty sure HAL has cancelled the 2021 world cruise. I also read they sold the Amsterdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affirmative, both Amsterdam and Rotterdam were purchased by Fred Olsen, being renamed Bolette & Borealis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll see what it will be like in three more months In Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted August 14, 2020 #12 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Regent hasn't cancelled their WC yet, but it's pretty clear they will. South America in January, then NZ and Aus Feb/Mar? I don't think so. We cancelled in April (sniff.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
