CRUISE SHIP COVID ERA.pptx
1. All you need is the plan, the roadmap,
and the courage to press on into your
destination.

- A large ship that stops at different ports
and carries passengers who are
traveling for pleasure.
3. The COVID-19 pandemic spread to a number of cruise ships, with the
nature of such ships – including crowded semi-enclosed areas,
increased exposure to new environments, and limited medical
resources – contributing to the heightened risk and rapid spread of the
disease. The British-registered Diamond Princess was the first cruise
ship to have a major outbreak on board, with the
ship quarantined at Yokohama from 4 February 2020 for approximately
one month. Of 3711 passengers and crew, around 700 people became
infected and 9 people died. Governments and ports responded
by preventing many cruise ships from docking and advising people to
avoid travelling on cruise ships. Similarly, many cruise lines
suspended their operations to mitigate the spread of the pandemic. As
of June 2020, over 40 cruise ships have had confirmed positive
cases of coronavirus on board. The last cruise ship with passengers
aboard during the first wave of the pandemic, Artania, docked at its
home port with its last eight passengers on 8 June 2020. In addition,
over 40,000 crew members remained on cruise ships, some in
isolation, as of mid-June 2020.[12] Many are unable to
be repatriated because cruise lines refuse to cover the cost of doing
so, and because countries have different and changing rules.

In the wake of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) declaration of
the COVID-19 outbreak as a global pandemic on 11 March 2020,
countries around the world began restricting international travel and
imposing bans on non-essential travel in an attempt to decrease the
spread of the virus. These restrictions have had an unprecedented
impact on the travel and tourism industry, and current forecasts
estimate that the total industry revenues for 2020 will be 34.7% less
than in 2019 (from USD 685 billion in 2019 down to USD 447 billion
estimated for 2020). The cruise industry is still suffering losses as a
result and a sailing ban issued by the US Centre for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) is expected to have further operational and
financial impacts. As a result of the travel suspensions, as of April
2020, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian’s stocks have dropped more
than 70% of their value within a month, while Carnival’s stock has
dropped by nearly 60%. With over 32% of cruise travel deployed in
the Caribbean region in 2019 (see CLIA’s State of the Cruise
Industry Outlook 2020) and an estimated USD 2 billion in revenues
that the cruise industry contributes to the region annually, the
temporary halt in operations could have far-reaching financial
impacts to small island nations and people who rely on cruise
tourism.
6. The Future of Cruises and the Cruise Industry,
2022 and Beyond

7. As travel begins to return in greater numbers following the COVID-19
pandemic, the future of cruise will continue to evolve in 2022 and beyond.
Pent-up demand already has led to a huge surge in bookings in 2022 and
2023 from cruisers who have had their trips canceled or delayed because of
the pandemic as well as new bookings from people who foresee cruising
coming back safer than ever.
A couple of examples of this: Oceania's world cruise for 2023 sold out within
one day of opening for sale to the public January 27, 2021. And river cruise
operator Uniworld has seen a 425 percent year-on-year increase in late 2021
and 2022 bookings to exotic destinations like India, Vietnam and Egypt.
Still, the future of the cruise industry has changed noticeably because of the
pandemic. Here is a look at that future -- and what changes we can expect to
see over the coming years.

Seeing a generally positive rollout of vaccinations across the globe, and scientists
are optimistic about reaching herd immunity in 2021, Cruise Critics expect some
momentum when it comes to cruising going into 2022. On the back of that
positivity, they're making some bold predictions for next year.
Transport Canada will lift its ban on cruise ships calling in at its ports en route to
Alaska, and the state will enjoy its busiest cruise year since 2019.
U.S. citizens will be able to return to Europe again, and we predict a boom,
especially for river cruises.
Australia will (finally) have lifted its travel restrictions and 2022/23 season will be a
boom one for cruising. Many lines are already planning for this, with Celebrity
Cruises, announcing Celebrity Eclipse will return on a series of five to 18-night
departures from Sydney and Auckland from September next year.
Aussies and New Zealanders will be allowed to leave their countries at long last,
so expect a large number in Europe in summer 2022, especially on the rivers.
They predict, however, that vaccine passports, or at least something showing
proof of vaccination, will become part of a requirement to travel, the same way
certain inoculations, such as yellow fever, are for entering certain countries.
14. ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
The development and identification of new technologies and cleaner
fuels is a top priority for the cruise industry, which continues to make
substantial investments in reducing its environmental impact.

15. While cruise ships comprise less than 1% of the
global maritime community, the entire shipping
industry benefits from the early adoption of new
technologies and practices that did not exist just
five to ten years ago.
Liquified Natural Gas (LNG)
Virtually zero sulfur emissions, a 95% to 100%
reduction in particulate emissions, and 85% reduction
in nitrogen oxide emissions and up to a 20% reduction
in greenhouse gas emissions
Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (ECGS)
98% reduction in sulfur oxide levels, 50% reduction of total
particulate matter and 12% reduction of nitrogen oxides
Advanced Wastewater Treatment Systems
Advanced waste treatment systems that exceed international
requirements and are often superior to shoreside treatment
plants
Shore-side Power
Cruise ships are increasingly equipped with the ability to turn
off the engines and receive shore-side electricity while in port
where clean energy is available
17. DESTINATION STEWARDSHIP
With increased demand and growth in the cruise industry comes
responsibility to foster respect and cooperation with the places we
visit. In collaboration with local communities, the cruise industry is
exploring new and creative ways to manage the flow of visitors and
implement the highest standards of responsible tourism.
19. Revealed: 100,000 crew never made
it off cruise ships amid coronavirus
crisis
Guardian investigation finds workers stranded on
at least 50 ships with Covid-19 outbreaks, limited
medical equipment, some without pay, and no
end in sight.
