But despite flights being back on track, cruise companies are still unable to restart their Australian tours.
And despite hints from NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet, who has acknowledged the irony of Aussies being able to cruise overseas but not at home, the industry will still take months to restart. Despite some promising words from senior federal ministers and a number of premiers, Mr Katz said it was “time to convert words into action”.The Australian cruise industry has submitted robust Covid protocols that have already been tried and tested on more than three million passengers overseas, since cruising restarted in Europe and the US.
“The crew needs to be recruited and vaccinated, then they have to be flown out to wherever the ship is, go through a quarantine process, get trained on whatever new protocols are needed. “We are naturally disappointed for our guests and our many suppliers to have to extend the pause in operations by a further month,” Mr Myrmell said this morning.
Mr Katz called on the Australian Government to observe how successful the cruise industry’s new protocols had been overseas.
Can't wait to go on a cruise again!
