It has been a long road back, but Royal Caribbean restarted cruises this week with Quantum of the Seas in Singapore.

Royal Caribbean celebrated the healthy return of cruises with Quantum of the Seas in Singapore.

After months of careful planning and collaboration with Singapore's health and tourism authorities, the cruise line's Quantum Class ship departed from Marina Bay Cruise Centre on the first of its 3- to 4-night Ocean Getaways. 

These cruises visit no ports and are only available to residents of Singapore.

MSC Cruises announced it would extend its suspension of U.S. cruises through the end of February 2021.

Like all the other major cruises lines, MSC will delay its restart plans for North America.

Three MSC cruise ships are affected by the announcement:

Princess Cruises announced when its cruises return to service its fleet will offer the Medallion Class Experience onboard.

Coral Princess, Diamond Princess, Emerald Princess, Grand Princess, Island Princess, Majestic Princess, and Sapphire Princess will return as MedallionClass ships along with the new Enchanted Princess.

Carnival Cruise Line has announced more cruise cancellations, this time canceling all sailings including from PortMiami and Port Canaveral through February 28, 2021.

Carnival will also push back the debut of the new Carnival Mardi Gras until April 24, 2021.

Carnival is also cancelling the remaining itineraries scheduled to operate from Miami, Port Canaveral and Galveston through Feb. 28.

Royal Caribbean joined other cruise lines in cancelling its January 2021 cruises, and also cancelled cruises through the end of February.

As Royal Caribbean works towards getting approval to sail again from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, it announced its cruises through February 28, 2021.

In addition, Australia sailings are suspended through April 30, 2021.

Today's announcement does not apply to two ships:

Norwegian Cruise Line announced on Tuesday it would extend its cruise cancellations an additional two months to include all of February 2021, including some ships as far out as March.

NCL has cancelled all of its cruises through February, as well as cruises in March 2021 for the following ships:

In the wake of a months-long cruise industry hiatus and thousands of canceled voyages, you might be hesitant to book your next sailing. However, we think there's no better time. Here are 10 reasons why.

The process for cruises to resume is slow going, but the outlook is bright for 2021, with cruise lines staffing ships and familiarizing themselves with new requirements that have been established by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
