The cruise line industry has recently started to resume sailings following an extended halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Disney Cruise Line
After completing a test sailing, Disney Cruise Line also announced that they will soon resume select departures from the U.S. as well. Disney announced additional health and safety measures as part of their plan to restart sailings.
Disney Cruise Line has scheduled cruises for this year. These have been canceled on a rolling basis, and no official return to the seas date has been shared. When they do resume, the cruises might look a little different than you remember them, as Disney makes adjustments to keep passengers and crew safe and in line with CDC regulations.
All aboard!
One cruise line out of Florida has already gotten started, though! The Royal Caribbean was the first cruise line to sail with passengers, which they did this past Sunday.Â
The CDC has released new travel guidelines.
Will Disney set sail again this year?
The CDC recently issued their next phase of requirements for cruises to resume, leading to backlash from Florida senators and a lawsuit from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. However, the CDC is continuing to release new restrictions that could influence cruise travel — and its most recent notice affects the Bahamas in particular.
The cruise industry has been immensely impacted by the global health crisis.

Disney has noted that the Disney Cruise Line will likely be the last segment of the business to return, and other cruise companies are contending with similar lengthy closures. Now, despite Carnival Cruise Line announcing a resumption of operations prior to the end of 2020, more companies (Carnival included) are announcing delays.
