Rare Fletcher Posted July 9, 2020 #2 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Thanks Davey for posting that. The official link is here - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/cruise-ship-travel It's basically saying do not book a cruise and no insurance policy will cover you in any circumstances.

Mocamps Posted July 9, 2020 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Well that looks like yet another nail in the coffin for our October Hong Kong-Sydney cruise - but Silversea still insist it's not cancelled! Let's look at it......... No US passengers Now no UK passengers Hong Kong in turmoil and not allowing international tourists anyway Australia saying they won't allowing cruise ships until next year. I keep hoping that something will be salvaged, that Silversea will change the itinerary or offer us something different. But it now looks like NOTHING will sail until next year. So what are we waiting for? WE'RE waiting for Silversea to cancel so that we can either get ALL of our money back or a FCC! If WE cancel we lose $400+ on admin charges so we're waiting for them to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate these weblink sharings by Davey and Fletcher, plus the great follow-up by Mocamps. What a "trifecta" with no US or UK passengers, plus the growing/uncertain mess in Hong Kong. Very, very challenged. It appears clearer and clearer that any significant re-opening by the cruise lines will take much longer than had been originally assumed and hoped. THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio Norway Coast/Fjords/Arctic Circle cruise from Copenhagen, July 2010, to the top of Europe. Wonderful scenic visuals with key tips.
