Alaska-Bound Cruises Could Soon Resume Voice of America 22 May 2021, 16:05 GMT+10 VANCOUVER, CANADA - Alaska-bound cruise ships could soon sail once again, now that U.S. lawmakers in both houses of Congress have voted to allow cruises to bypass Canada. The measure is awaiting President Joe Biden s signature. The legislation temporarily sets aside the Passenger Services Vehicle Act of 1886, which has long mandated that cruise ships stop in Canada en route to Alaska. The stipulation was never a problem until the COVID-19 pandemic struck and Canada banned any passenger vessels carrying over 100 people from docking until at least February 2022. Without congressional action, Alaska was looking at a canceled cruise ship season for the second consecutive year.
