A CRUISE line has extended its pause in operations due to current uncertainty at European Ports.

P&O Cruises has now extended the pause until April 2021.

The company says that this is because of 'ever changing' guidance around international travel and the varying regulations in many European ports of call.

All guests with bookings on a cancelled cruise are due to be notified and the Cruise line says they will automatically receive an enhanced 125% Future Cruise Credit or alternatively a 100% refund by filling out a web form.

P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said: “With hopeful news headlines clearly we do not want to extend our pause in operations any further than absolutely necessary.

“As the final payments are due for these cruises very soon we felt it was the right thing to do for our guests.

“We are so sorry to disappoint those who were due to travel but really hope they will re-book for later in the year or for our new programme of 2022 holidays.”
