Víking er kontinuing til pause sinn kruise operations. Or, for those who don’t speak Old Norse, Viking is continuing to pause its cruise operations.

This news isn’t particularly surprising. Unless, of course, you’ve been living under a very large rock.

New year, new cruise resumption dates for several Carnival Corp brands, so tell your clients they won’t need to add seasickness tablets to their shopping lists anytime soon.

The association has dug up some data that suggests a multi-billion-dollar loss for the Australian economy if the cruise ban isn’t lifted on 17 December.

We haven’t been counting, but we’re pretty sure this is the 1,543,044th time we have reported on an extension of the cruise pause.

Another day, another cruise pause update from your trusty buddies at Travel Weekly. You can thank us by sending cupcakes and a bottle of vodka.

The Cruise Lines International Association has released the latest instalment in its #wearecruise series, highlighting the impact of the cruise pause on small businesses.

The cruise line has chosen to extend its pause in operations past the one set by the federal government, which could be a clue that ScoMo will follow suit.

Meanwhile, Travel Weekly has extended its pause on office drinks after a particularly bad incident involving a pot plant and copious amounts of slivovitz.

The group said the extension was in line with the Australian government’s recent decision to extend the suspension of cruise tourism in the region.

Looks like Aussie cruises are now off the cards until the end of the year, so all your avid cruising clients are going to have to make do with toy boats in their bathwater.
