World Travel & Tourism Council senior vice president Virginia Messina said: “The cruise industry will breathe a sigh of relief that the crucial relaunch of international cruise departures from England has been given the green light, giving hope to a sector which has struggled to stay afloat.”
The news was hailed by agents who pointed to the positive effect of this summer’s domestic round-Britain cruises and said it would now allow them to book more international sailings.
Delighted to confirm that international cruise sailings will restart from 2 August – proud of the work UK Government and cruise sector have done to get here.https://t.co/hd2oaHgMO7
