Bahamas Paradise Resuming Sailings Oct. 1
Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line has announced that it will be delaying its return to sailing until Oct. 1, 2020.
The cruise line’s CEO, Oneil Khosa said: “As you know, we recently announced that we would finally return to sea this August – offering travellers the chance to enjoy a much-needed, two-night getaway to paradise. However, given the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) extension of its No Sail Order, we have no choice but to delay our resumption of cruise operations to October 1st, 2020.”
Khosa continued: “Since the outbreak of COVID-19, we have remained one of the few cruise lines that reported no cases of the virus onboard our ships. We have also followed all required guidelines, including adhering to strict requirements for our onboard crew members, and installed the best safety protocols in the industry across our fleet to protect our guests and crew, who are always our top priority. In addition, we remain the only cruise line in the country to receive “green status” from the CDC on our No Sail Response plan, meaning we have met their requirements in providing a safe environment for our crew members to work and disembark via commercial travel. This was also recognized in the CDC’s own statement.”
Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line’s CEO said that: “While we are disappointed that we are not able to sail as planned, we will of course continue to work side by side with the CDC and have therefore suspended all future sailings until Oct. 1.”
Khosa added that: “We are also aware of the recent announcement from Bahamas Prime Minister Hubert Munnis regarding the travel ban on travellers from the U.S., and we are prepared to make necessary changes to our sailing schedule, as needed. Until then, we will continue our preparations to return to Grand Bahama Island while keeping a close eye on the overall landscape. We look forward to welcoming guests back onboard and appreciate everyone’s patience throughout this process.”
