Guernsey won’t accept cruise ship calls in 2021
Guernsey will not allow any cruise calls for the entire 2021 season due to Covid-19 pandemic health risks.
It said ongoing uncertainty and a need to protect the health and safety of the Islands of Guernsey residents led to the banning of cruise ships for the rest of this year.
"The cruise sector is very important to the Islands of Guernsey and to our tourism industry, and this is not a decision taken lightly," said Wendy Pedder, Marketing Manager, VisitGuernsey.
"Following consultation with Public Health, and due to the extensive operational and logistical requirements and plans necessary to ensure a safe experience for passengers, crew and residents we have taken the proactive decision to cancel the programme for this year,"
It will now focus its planning efforts on the 2022 cruise season.
"We would like to thank the cruise industry for their understanding and support, and we look forward to working with them towards a successful and safe 2022 season," Pedder said.
