With uncertainty over the extent and length of the
global Covid-19 pandemic, river cruise companies have pushed back their plans
to resume sailing.
American Queen Steamboat Company (AQSC) said Wednesday that
it won’t be sailing until at least May 16.
AmaWaterways has
pushed back the start of its European sailing season to May 31.
AQSC said the decision to extend its suspension beyond April
was due to “the evolving nature of the Covid-19 pandemic and the continued
wide-spread governmental restrictions across ports, cities and public
institutions.”
AQSC’s sister company, Victory Cruise Lines, which operates
coastal cruises, said it would delay sailings until May 17.
