The first casualty of the Alaska 2021 cruise season will be Quantum of the Seas.
Guests who had cruises booked on Quantum of the Seas for Alaska cruises in 2021 received an email that the cruise ship will not leave Singapore to go to Alaska as planned.
This affects scheduled Quantum of the Seas sailings between April 25- October 14, 2021.
This decision does not affect Alaska sailings on Ovation, Serenade, and Radiance of the Seas, as Royal Caribbean continues to work closely with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and government authorities in North America.
Instead, Quantum of the Seas will remain in the Asia-Pacific region.
