Norwegian, recognized by the Travvys for its handling of the COVID crisis, has taken the pandemic very seriously and is returning to sailing in a very cautious and meaningful way.
The cruise line has undergone intensive training, implemented new sanitation rules, improved airflow systems and worked with a panel of sanitation experts, doctors and scientists to ensure safety.
NCLH is also cruising back to profitability, announcing that it expects to be back in the black by the second half of 2022. Occupancy rates are at nearly 60 percent, and the expectation is that they will be returning to normal later in 2022.
