U.S. cruises could resume by mid-summer with restrictions, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday after Carnival Corp., the largest operator, threatened to relocate ships to other markets.
The agency’s signal sent shares of cruise companies rising in after-market trading, with Carnival gaining as much as 4.9%. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. also advanced.
The industry has been pressuring the agency, saying it is restricting their return to the seas even as other hospitality industries like hotels and theme parks reopen.
Earlier Tuesday, Carnival threatened to move some U.S. ships to other ports, more than a year after the industry essentially went on hiatus over the Covid-19 pandemic.

Among major S&P sectors, energy, consumer discretionary and consumer staples outperformed. Financials and real estate slipped.
The S&P 500 and the Dow reached record levels with the CBOE volatility index retreating to pre-pandemic lows, driven by fiscal stimulus packages and swift COVID-19 vaccinations in the United States that led to blowout employment as well as service sector reports for March.
