Transport Minister Marc Garneau says big cruise ships will be banned from Canadian waters at least until the end of February now.

The same extension is being applied to the ban on smaller vessels carrying 12 or more passengers in Arctic coastal waters.

Cruise ships were early hot spots for COVID-19 with hundreds of passengers falling ill and ships being stranded at sea as multiple countries began refusing them in ports.Canada banned cruise ships with overnight accommodation for at least 500 passengers in mid-March. In May, it extended the ban until the end of October and increased it to include all ships with 100 or more overnight passenger spaces.

Most cruise lines stopped sailing entirely in the spring, but several have now resumed operations or plan to before the end of the year.

JeffGingerich Agree. Cruise ships are infection spreaders.

Because when I think cruise ships, I think Canada (?).

Close all the borders. By land, sea, air. My father died in June, I am also vulnerable. So many more will die by COVID19 if you don't. Lead by example JustinTrudeau and help the vulnerable, the frontlineworkers and all Canadians StaySafe. CPHO_Canada CDNhealth cdnpoli

I doubt many cruise ships were scheduled between now and February to any Canadian port. cruise

Much appreciated. They dock 700meters from where I live. I've met some very interesting folks in local restaurants & just walking in the 'hood. But not right now in COVID19

Someone want to tell the teachers union and Canadian CPP collectors they are in trouble.
