Carnival-Corporation-owned lines P&O Cruises Australia and Princess Cruises have extended their local cruise pauses by three months.
Both lines said the extensions were a result of ongoing uncertainty around timing for the resumption of cruise holidays in the area.
The new resumption dates have been pushed to 17 December and 19 December for P&O and Princess respectively.
The cruise industry has been discussing a framework for the restart of domestic-only cruising with government and public health authorities since last October.
P&O Cruises Australia president Sture Myrmell said he was looking forward to the opportunity to agree on a pathway for starting cruises that carry Australian residents on Australian itineraries.
