We’re facing a long, cold winter with surging COVID-19 cases, but there is a bright spot for those longing for a vacation on the world’s waterways.
It’s a great time to book a cruise vacation. No, probably not for February or spring break, but maybe for summer, early fall or later.
Of course, exactly when cruising will resume with a vengeance depends on the rise and fall of the coronavirus. But by booking now, you’ll miss the onslaught of pent-up demand that will be unleashed at some point, likely when testing becomes routine and/or vaccines are available.
There’s also something to be said for the anticipation of a vacation after a year-long drought – looking forward to a trip can lift spirits during dark days – and most companies still have flexible cancellation and rebooking policies in place.
