CANADIAN authorities have confirmed that the country’s current ban on passenger cruise shipping will be lifted effective from 01 Nov.
Minister for Transport Omar Alghabra said the move reflected the Government’s desire to support tourism.
“As Canadians have done their part to reduce the spread of COVID-19, our government continues to work hard to safely restart our economy and build back better,” he said.
“We will welcome cruise ships – an important part of our tourism sector – back in Canadian waters for the 2022 season,” he said.
Ports will be allowed to open subject to compliance with public health requirements, with the Government to release details of standards in the coming weeks.
“We’re providing certainty to the industry, letting them prepare, schedule trips and start selling tickets,” Alghabra added.
