| CCL extends pause

CARNIVAL Cruise Line (CCL) has extended its rolling pause in operations in Australia, saying there is still no certainty as to when cruise departures from the country can resume.

In line with guidance from the Australian Government, CCL is extending its pause in operations for Australian sailings through to and including 16 Dec for Carnival Spirit and Carnival Splendor.

Travellers booked on an impacted cruise will be contacted shortly.

As throughout the pandemic, CCL is protecting the commission on all bookings paid in full.

Travel advisor commissions are protected on the original fully paid booking cancelled by Carnival and on the final fully paid rebooking when a future cruise credit is redeemed on an active sailing.

CCL last month announced the appointment of its new Vice President, Kara Glamore, formerly Director of Marketing & PR, who has succeeded the outgoing Jennifer Vandekreeke (CW 26 Jul), who departed for NRMA Expeditions.
