Canada to reopen to cruise ships earlier than planned

The Canadian government had a ban on cruise ships from its ports through February 2022, but announced it will lift the ban earlier than planned.

Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra announced the prohibition will now be lifted as of Nov. 1, which doesn’t really help the economy for 2021, but does ensure planning for 2022.

“As Canadians have done their part to reduce the spread of COVID-19, our government continues to work hard to safely restart our economy and build back better,” Alghabra said. “We will welcome cruise ships — an important part of our tourism sector — back in Canadian waters for the 2022 season.”
