Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) announced on Monday its member cruise lines will all cancel cruises from the United States through October 31, 2020 due to COVID-19.

Cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean, Carnival Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line and more, will voluntarily extend their suspension of sailings.

The announcement impacts cruises from the United States, although individual cruise lines have already opted to cancel cruises from other regions, such as Royal Caribbean choosing to also cancel its entire European cruise season for 2020.

UnCruise Adventures attempted to start cruises again with a sailing in Alaska, but had to cut the cruise short after a passenger tested positive for COVID-19.

The guest came to Alaska with a positive test, then took another test upon arrival in Alaska and that came back positive.
