As tourism deals with a severe case of the flu, no sector is showing more symptoms than cruising. On the upside, at least one major cruise line is prescribing a beneficial remedy – Norwegian Cruise Line has updated its cancellation-and-credit policy to encourage travellers to keep planning ahead.

NCL says the “Peace of Mind” policy offers guests who book voyages through 30 September, 2020 the opportunity to cancel up to 48 hours before the sail date and receive a 100 per cent future cruise credit for use on any sailings through 31 December, 2022.

This new offer applies to all new guests as well as those already booked on voyages beginning 10 March, 2020.
