Premier Alden McLaughlin says that it is unclear that cruise ships will be returning to the Cayman Islands this year due to the continuing pandemic.
Speaking during a press interview on Thursday, McLaughlin said that while he is optimistic that the nation’s vaccine program could mean a resumption of some travel and tourism beginning in March, he has managed out cruise tourism for the time being.
“Cruise is currently not on our radar at all at this stage. We would have to be quite satisfied that the world was in a very different place in terms of safety-related to COVID-19 before we should not even think of having the cruise ships come here. Honestly, I don’t see cruise tourism resuming on any time soon sort .”
“The cruise ship business is really not within our closest contemplation at this stage.”
During the press conference, the Premier urged Caymanians to play their part and get the COVID-19 vaccine to allow “Cayman to resume an even greater sense of normalcy” by the end of March.
