The last three major cruise ships in the world are docking Monday and Tuesday, leaving none at sea, Cruise Lines International Association said.
The Pacific Princess is due in Los Angeles within hours, CLIA said.
The MSC Magnifica docked in Marseille, France, earlier today, the Marseille Tourism office told CNN.
The final major cruise ship still due to be sailing, the Costa Deliziosa, is currently docked in Barcelona, Spain, but will depart for Genoa, Italy, later on Monday, CLIA said.
When it arrives in the Italian port on Tuesday, there will be no cruise liners associated with CLIA at sea anywhere in the world. The organization covers 95% of all cruise ships, including those operated by the world’s largest cruise lines.
Some background: The Pacific Princess departed from Port Everglades, Florida, on January 5, according to an April 6 statement. The ship disembarked most guests in Fremantle, Australia, on March 21.
“However, not all guests onboard met the International Air Transport Association (IATA) fitness standards for air travel or were unable to return home by aircraft due to individual medical conditions unrelated to Covid-19,” the company explained. There are currently 115 guests onboard.
The Costa Deliziosa docked at the Barcelona port on Monday to disembark some passengers, mainly of Portuguese and Spanish nationalities.
The ship will then continue its journey on Monday evening towards Genoa, its final destination, where it is expected to arrive on April 21.
