CRUISE specialist travel agency Clean Cruising is facing the $100 million landmark of cancellations this week.

Clean Cruising General Manager Dan Russell said his company had now seen well over a full year’s turnover wiped out with the combined impact of international border closures, interstate border restrictions and the ban on cruise ships.

Russell said it was profoundly disappointing both federal and state governments are yet to produce a framework for the resumption of cruising more than a year after the cruise ship ban was applied.

“There are hundreds of other travel agents across Australia for whom cruising is a key part of their business,” he said.
