SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle-based Holland America Cruise Line has sold four ships in its fleet as the pandemic has essentially halted operations in the cruise industry.
The company made the announcement after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control on Thursday extended a ban on cruises in U.S. waters until the end of September.
The company says all cruises booked on the four ships will be canceled or changed. Shops and restaurants at the port have also struggled since businesses have relied on tourists for income.
