Canadian authorities say they’ll lift a pandemic-era ban on cruise ships in the country’s waters. But it won’t happen until after the end of Alaska’s 2021 cruise season. The decision means cruise ships could again sail from Vancouver and Victoria to Alaska in 2022.
“As Canadians have done their part to reduce the spread of COVID-19, our government continues to work hard to safely restart our economy and build back better. We will welcome cruise ships an important part of our tourism sector back in Canadian waters for the 2022 season,” Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra said in a statement.
Cruise ships allowed to sail in Canadian waters starting Nov. 1

VICTORIA - The federal government says cruise ships will be allowed back in Canadian waters in November, but they must follow public health requirements.
Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said the prohibition on cruise chops because of COVID-19 will be lifted Nov. 1, eliminating a ban that was in place until the end of February 2022.
In a news release Thursday, Alghabra said the $4-billion cruise industry generates about 30,000 jobs and is an important part of the country s domestic tourism sector.
