Cruise Lines Cancel More Cruises to Alaska

Two of Carnival’s cruise lines, Princess Cruises and Holland America Line, have canceled more cruises to Alaska this year.

Both cruise lines have extended their pause of cruise vacations from Seattle through June 27, 2021. This affects two cruise ships with Princess (Emerald Princess and Majestic Princess) and two with Holland America Line (Eurodam and Oosterdam).

The cruise lines are working with the CDC and Canadian Government to try to preserve a portion of the 2021 Alaska cruise season.

At this time, Alaska cruises sailing roundtrip from Seattle departing in July and onward have not been canceled. Following the earlier Canadian Transport Ministry Interim Order that closed Canadian ports to passenger vessels, discussions continue with Canadian and United States government authorities to try to preserve remaining Seattle Alaska sailings.

For guests booked on a cancelled voyage with Princess, the cruise line will offer to move guests to the equivalent cruise in 2022. The rebooking process will have the added benefit of protecting the guests’ 2021 fare on their 2022 voyage. Alternatively, guests can choose a future cruise credit (FCC) equivalent to 100% of the cruise fare paid plus an additional non-refundable bonus FCC equal to 10% of the cruise fare paid (minimum $25 USD) or a full refund to the original form of payment.

For those who were booked on one of the canceled Holland America sailings, they will automatically be moved to an equivalent cruise in 2022 at the 2021 fare – with all cash and Future Cruise Credit funds moved to the new booking.

Once a new booking confirmation is received, if guests decide not to accept the 2022 cruise booking, they will have the option to decline the booking and receive an FCC of 110% of any cash paid. Guests will also be able to request a full refund of all monies paid to Holland America Line.

The minimum FCC is $25 and will be valid for sailings departing through Dec. 31, 2022, and will be moved to the guest loyalty account. Non–cruise fare purchases (shore excursions, airfare, gifts, dining and spa) will be transferred to a new booking or automatically refunded via the method of payment used to purchase the goods or services.
