CLIA Action Center

TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress to Help Restart the Cruise Industry in the U.S.!

Use your voice to tell Congress to urge the Biden Administration to lift the Conditional Sailing Order (CSO) and allow cruising to resume in the U.S. by the beginning of July 2021!
https://cruising.org/en/clia-action-center

esterday, CLIA called on the Biden Administration and the CDC to lift the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order (CSO) and allow cruising to be on track to resume sailing in the U.S. by the beginning of July 2021.



Today, we get to work—and we need your help! Please visit the CLIA Action Center to email, call, and/or Tweet at your elected officials in the House and Senate and tell them to urge the Biden Administration to lift the CSO. Our announcement was a big step, and the journey is just beginning. We have our work cut out for us, but the facts are on our side.



Since the industry’s voluntary suspension one year ago, cruise lines have been prevented from operating in the U.S. even as public health conditions have improved and other sectors have opened or continued to operate throughout the pandemic.
Over the past eight months, a highly-controlled resumption of cruising has continued in Europe, Asia, and the South Pacific - with nearly 400,000 passengers sailing and additional markets scheduled to come online in the spring and summer.
The industry’s enhanced public health measures are working, with fewer than 50 confirmed cases of COVID-19 onboard CLIA member cruise line ships since resumption started last summer, based on public reporting.
More than 300,000 jobs have been lost in the US due to the suspension of cruises. The majority of those impacted are independent business owners or individuals employed by small- to medium-sized businesses.
Restarting cruises as part of the broader travel industry will provide a much-needed boost to the U.S. economy - with the cruise industry supporting nearly 450,000 American jobs and contributing over $55.5 billion annually, prior to the pandemic.
An early-July resumption is in line with President Biden’s forecast for when the US will be “closer to normal.”
There is no such thing as ‘normal’ without cruise ships! The cruise community is a vital part of the travel and tourism economy and should be afforded the same opportunities to begin to recover from the devastating impacts of the pandemic.
It will take every single one of us to be successful.

The Time is Now. Will You Join Us?

All of us at Princess were very excited to see our newest ship, Discovery Princess, touch down in the water last Thursday at the Fincanteri shipyard in Malfalcone, Italy. Though she’s months away from her maiden cruise, the March 18 float out was a key milestone in the construction of the cruise ship on a technical and traditional level. Until this point, the ship does not “officially” have a name and is known by a number corresponding to the number found on the ship’s hull. So glad to meet you, Discovery Princess! She’ll make her official debut in spring of 2022. This incredible vessel is being built from the ground up with Princess MedallionClass® technology and will be the final Royal Class ship, joining sisters Royal, Regal, Majestic, Sky and Enchanted Princess® in the fleet. She boasts an array of new features from dining to entertainment and other new wrinkles. Watch for new details to be released soon.
