ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The Canadian government has extended a ban on cruise ships through February 2022, which is expected to block trips from visiting Alaska this year.
Transport Canada on Thursday announced the extension of the ban enacted because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Canada blocked cruise ships of more than 100 passengers starting in spring 2020.
The ban was set to expire at the end of February, but Transport Canada said “cruise vessels in Canadian waters pose a risk to our health care systems.”
========================================================================
You might have to move that cruise from Seattle to Alaska lower on your bucket list.
Someone that wants to catch a case of norovirus.Who would want to spend money to take a trip on a fancy floating petri dish anyway?
Not sure if it still is, but it used to be that a foreign-registered ship wasn't allowed to go between two American ports. Which pretty much cancels the Alaska cruise season. If it still is.https://apnews.com/article/alaska-a...demic-canada-ff988f9ea77e210638e481b474f2c1c5</div>

They ain't called floating petri dishes for nothingCruise ships have always been conduits for infections diseases so this kind pretty much expected as a responsible public health measure during a pandemic.
Nopeits all about USA´s free sea passage vs . Canadian territory thing
Most large cruise ships visiting Alaska are registered in foreign countries. U.S. federal law prohibits foreign-registered ships from sailing between two American ports without stopping at a foreign port between. Large cruise ships bound for Alaska either begin voyages in Canada or stop there on the way.
Especially one filled with trash tourists...Who would want to spend money to take a trip on a fancy floating petri dish anyway?
