Two cruise lines are suspending all cruises over the new coronavirus, including the company that operates the Diamond Princess.

Princess Cruises said it was pausing global operations of its 18 ships for two months starting March 12. The company operates the Diamond Princess, where hundreds were infected, and the Grand Princess, where about two dozen infections forced passengers to disembark into two-week quarantines.
