Holidays are banned, so it doesn’t seem the most auspicious time to book a cruise. But with the vaccine rollout going great guns, and all the deals on offer, it’s a great moment to dive in.
It’s about supply and demand. A lot of older ships were scrapped as Covid-19 hit, new ones due this year have been delayed, and others will come back slowly and with fewer passengers, to allow people to space out. So capacity will be down.
