Carnival Cancels Entire Fleet of U.S.-Based Cruises Through Early 2021

In its latest effort at CDC guideline compliance, Carnival (NYSE: CCL) (NYSE: CUK) announced Wednesday it is canceling all U.S.-based cruises between Jan. 1 and Jan. 31, 2021. During this time, no cruises will leave the company's American "homeports." Its Australia cruises remain paused until March 2 at the earliest.

Carnival says that once it does resume American cruises after Jan. 31 with some of its current home waters fleet of 16 vessels, it will do so gradually, from just three of its homeports: Port Canaveral and Miami in Florida, and Galveston in Texas. Seven other homeports, including Baltimore, Charleston, Jacksonville, Long Beach, Mobile, New Orleans, and San Diego, will remain closed for cruise launches through Feb. 28.
