Let’s be honest, no one knows for sure when cruises will return. The last cruise ship to depart from Miami on a passenger sailing was back on March 13, 2020.
Cruise lines have been canceling cruises a month or two at a time as the COVID-19 pandemic remains a fluid situation.

Since Canada has banned cruise ships over 100 passengers until November, all cruises to Alaska will likely be canceled for 2020.
The situation with COVID-19 remains extremely fluid. Cruise Fever will have all updates if cruise lines once again change their scheduled return date.
