Carnival Cruise Line is cancelling more cruises as it further extends the suspension of US operations until March 31.
The cruise giant is also cancelling other selected cruises on later dates in 2021, as the ships were due to operate longer cruises than allowed under current regulations.
Other cancellations are necessary to enable dry dock work on some ships.
Carnival said guests and travel agents are being notified of the cancellations and options for a future cruise credits or a full refund.
Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, said: “We are sorry to disappoint our guests, as we can see from our booking activity that there is clearly a pent-up demand for cruising on Carnival.
“We appreciate their patience and support as we continue to work on our plans to resume operations in 2021 with a gradual, phased-in approach.”
