It’s going to be a while still before cruises return.

Carnival Cruise Line recently announced that it would be extending its suspension of all trips into the middle of spring in the upcoming year. The company also announced that some, but not all, of its summer cruises had been canceled as well.

The cruise company announced that it would be canceling all of its trips scheduled up to (and including) March 31, 2021, USA Today reports. Carnival reportedly noted that while some of the cancelations were due to rescheduled maintenance on certain boats, many of the cancelations were in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the resulting regulations.

She also confirmed that Carnival Cruise Lines plans to use a phased approach to relaunching its trips as it resumes operations in 2021.
