Covid: US company suspends cruises

(ANSA) – ROME, JAN 08 – Royal Caribbean Cruises, an American shipping company dedicated to cruising, has announced the suspension of some of its activities for fear of a high spread of infections related to the Omicron variant. The stop currently concerns three cruise ships – Serenade of the Seas, Jewel of the Seas and Symphony of the Seas -, while the Vision of the Seas will not return to sea until March 7. “We regret having to cancel our guests’ long-awaited holidays and appreciate their loyalty and understanding,” writes the company, speaking of measures taken for “excess of prudence”.

In recent days, Royal Caribbean had stopped the Spectrum of the Seas ship after 9 passengers were identified as close contacts in a recorded case in Hong Kong. All have tested negative to subsequent swabs so far. Several cases of positivity have been recorded in the last few days on other cruises. (HANDLE).
