Cruise industry suspends sailing in US until Sept. 15, nearly two months longer than CDC no-sail order

The group's global board of directors met on Friday and put the decision to a vote. All members agreed to adhere to the suspension.

"CLIA cruise line members are using this time to explore new ideas and concepts to further enhance already stringent public health protocols and policies," Golin-Blaugrund said. "Additionally, caring for and repatriating crew members is the number one priority for CLIA cruise line members right now."

"One theme that continues to emerge in these conversations is the concept of a 'door-to-door' strategy, beginning at the time of booking through the return of passengers to their homes," she said. CLIA members are also looking to explore enhanced passenger and crew screening, social distancing, modifying or eliminating buffet dining options, enhanced onboard medical capability, new training for crew members and pre-arranged medical evacuation options with consideration to local healthcare.
