Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings’ three lines – Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania and Regent Seven Seas Cruises — will not sail until November.

NCLH is the latest cruise company to push back the suspension of sailings beyond the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s No Sail Order through Sept. 30.

Most of the major cruise lines serving the North American market have extended their pause to conform to the CDC order, including the Royal Caribbean Group brands, Carnival Cruise Line and MSC Cruises. Princess recently extended its suspension of nearly all cruises through mid-December, and many Holland America ships are not slated to set sail until mid-October or November.

Windstar Cruises recently pushed back its Tahiti sailings, which are to be the line’s first cruises to resume service, from Sept. 10 to Oct. 15, to align with the CDC order.

Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises have extended the suspension of all cruises until June 30.

The Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings brands extended the current extension from May 11 as they bid to help stem the spread of Covid-19.

The company said it will continue to work with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the federal government and global public health authorities to take “all necessary precautions” to ensure the health, safety and security of guests, crew and the communities it visits.

“We are committed to taking all appropriate actions to combat the spread of Covid-19 and, as such, have extended our global voyage suspension through June 30,” said Frank Del Rio, president and chief executive of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings. “We continue to work closely and in partnership with the US CDC, global public health authorities and local, state and federal governments to build upon our already rigorous health and safety protocols to ensure that our brands are ready to safely resume operations with these new protocols in place.

“Our teams are working around the clock to do what is right by our loyal guests and valued travel partners and we greatly appreciate their understanding as we continue to adapt to the ever-evolving global health environment.”

Guests who are booked on voyages with embarkation dates between May 11 and June 30, 2020, on Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises or Regent Seven Seas Cruises are asked to contact their travel agent or the cruise line for more information.
