Over the past week cruise lines began announcing cancellations and temporary suspending operations due to the outbreak of the coronavirus / COVID-19.
The first was Princess Cruises closely followed by Viking Cruises who both announced a global suspension of operations across the entire fleets. As the day went on more and more cruise lines began making announcements.
The final blow came when CLIA, Cruise Lines International Association, announced all its members would be suspending sailings from and to US ports. CLIA represents almost all cruise lines in the industry and effectively meant the end of cruise operations for at-least a month.
