Three Royal Caribbean Group brands have confirmed an extension to their suspension of cruises until September 15.
The company’s Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara lines have pushed back their restart to the proposed date announced by Cruise Lines International Association last week.
The announcement excludes sailings from China, which are suspended to the end of July, and sailings to Bermuda, which are suspended through to October 31.
It also does not include the company’s luxury line Silversea, which announced its latest return plans last month.
