The Canadian government has extended a ban on cruise ships through February 2022.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - The threat of almost no cruise ships traveling to the state could severely impact Alaska and its economy, and U.S. Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan say they’re fighting to allow cruises to sail to the state.
Murkowski spoke on the U.S. Senate floor this week pleading with her colleagues to review and pass the Alaska Tourism Restoration Act (ATRA). The bill, co-sponsored by Sullivan, would help alleviate restrictions for cruise ships traveling between Washington and Alaska, bypassing Canada altogether. Currently, cruise ships are required by U.S. law to stop in Canada.
