Three Carnival Corporation lines—Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, and Carnival Cruise Line—as well as Norwegian Cruise Line vessel Norwegian Bliss, are poised to set sail to Alaska in July, after Congress on Thursday passed the Alaska Tourism Restoration Act, paving the way for the resumption of Alaska-bound ships after a pandemic-related stoppage.
This bill, which now heads to President Joe Biden’s desk to be signed into law, will allow cruise ships in 2021 to sail from Washington state to Alaska without needing to stop in Canada, which banned cruise ships from its waters due to the pandemic.
