After restarting sailing onboard Quantum of the Seas in Singapore in last 2020, Royal Caribbean on Wednesday announced that it would keep the ship in Singapore through at least October 2021, the longest season yet for a ship in Singapore.
The news comes as Royal, and other cruise lines, continue to await word from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on its American restart. Royal’s decision to extend Quantum’s season in Asia comes as other cruise lines, including Celebrity Cruises and MSC Cruises, commit to moving ships outside of North America in order to get them sailing with a timeline still unclear.

Pressure is mounting on the U.S. government to take action in regards to the resumption of cruising. U.S. Travel Association, a national, non-profit organization representing all travel industry components,
has joined the growing number of trade organizations, governors, and representatives that have already voiced their concerns.
Indeed, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the CDC to defend their decisions based on information available months ago, which does not account for how COVID, or cruising, is handled now.
