mrstanley Posted May 31, 2020 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2020 The Canadian Minister of Transport announced that the country will extend its ban on cruise ships and passenger vessels in Canadian waters until October 31. Cruising not looking too good for 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolebludger Posted May 31, 2020 #2 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Unless somebody knows of a way I can’t think of, the 2020 Alaska cruises won’t happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelcat2 Posted May 31, 2020 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2020 This was mentioned a couple of days ago (imbedded in the thread about 2020 cruises). Alaska season is finished for the year. It is a shame that the requirement still exists that Regent has to stop in Canada in order to sail to Alaska. This potentially makes Canada the cause of lost revenue in Alaska this year. It should not be this way (note: I do not believe that Canada wants to hurt tourism to Alaska - it is out of their hands). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. To be clear, Canada isn't potentially the cause of lost revenue to Alaska this year. The PVSA requires Regent to stop in a foreign port on its Alaska cruises. That's the reason those cruises can't proceed, resulting in lost revenue to Alaska. Canada is just the convenient foreign port that satisfies the PVSA requirements. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrstanley Posted May 31, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted May 31, 2020 New England cruises are not going. Not if you leave from Montreal or Quebec City. None for 2020. My October cruise will be canceled. Would have canceled myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada is not the cause of Alaska losing revenue this year. Canada has no laws that force cruise ships to stop at one of their ports before visiting Alaska. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelcat2 Posted May 31, 2020 #7 Share Posted May 31, 2020 That is pretty much what I said (quoting myself) ' This potentially makes Canada the cause of lost revenue in Alaska this year. It should not be this way (note: I do not believe that Canada wants to hurt tourism to Alaska - it is out of their hands).' 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
