Miami-based Norwegian Cruise Line has announced plans to resume cruise operations from the United States starting in August. The cruise line says it plans to.
Norwegian Cruise Line says it will launch 11 voyages and continue working with destination partners and health experts on plans to launch additional voyages.
Earlier in May, Norwegian threatened to keep its ships out of Florida after the governor signed legislation banning businesses from requiring that customers show proof of vaccination against COVID-19.
The company says the law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis is at odds with guidelines from federal health authorities that would let cruise ships sail in U.S. waters if nearly all passengers and crew members are vaccinated.
“It is a classic state-versus-federal-government issue,” said Norwegian s CEO, Frank Del Rio. “Lawyers believe that federal law applies and not state law, but I’m not a lawyer. And we hope that this doesn’t become a legal football or a political football.”
