Travel Weekly staff dread Cruise Wrap days because they usually result in our deputy editor singing Enya’s “Orinoco Flow”, until we lock her in a cupboard.

We caught up with Ponant’s Monique Ponfoort (while maintaining a 1.5m gap, of course) to find out how the cruise line is coping amid all this corona-craziness and how she expects the sector to bounce back.

If this week’s Cruise Wrap is anything to go by, the sector is pushing for its return in a big way, rewarding agents in the process.

Happy hump day, folks! Sail through the rest of the week by spending your entire afternoon catching up on the latest cruise news.

Tired of your colleagues outsmarting you when it comes to the latest cruise brochures and deals? Get the upper hand right here.

There are some pretty big updates featured in this week’s cruise wrap. Maybe not as exciting as today’s ibis attack story, but we promise it’s still worth reading.
