This week’s broadcast of the Cruise Radio News Briefs starts with the news that a research team at the University of California, Irvine, has issued a report saying that the global sea level could rise by as much as 2 feet by the end of the century as a result of man-made climate change. A similar study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in May of this year said that by 2100, sea levels could rise by a whopping 23 feet. This would have a drastic effect on shorelines around the world, including the Great Lakes region.

Welcome to Cruise Radio’s newsletter for the week of July 4, 2024, where we talk about cruise news, our weekly podcast and the latest YouTube videos.1. Amber Cove, Dominican Republic, welcomed its first cruise ship in 16 months this week when the Carnival Horizon docked at the port for one day. The port is part of the Carnival Corporation brands, which include Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America Line and Princess Cruises. The ship also celebrated the stop, as it was the first Carnival ship to leave Miami since the end of the voyage.

2. Virgin Voyages has postponed its Miami debut for the sixth time. The first ship, Scarlet Lady, will take three- and four-night cruises in the United Kingdom before departing on October 6 for its first cruise to the United States. Meanwhile, the departure of the second ship, the Valiant Lady, has been delayed until 1. May 2024 postponed.
3. MSC Cruises has announced the signing of a contract with Fincantieri Infrastructure Florida for the construction of a new terminal in PortMiami. The new mega terminal will cost around $450 million and will accommodate three of MSC’s largest ships at a time, with a capacity of up to 36,000 passengers per day.

4. A federal judge has rejected the CDC’s request to delay the lifting of health and safety restrictions on the cruise industry. This means that the Conditional Sailing Order, which sets out the route that cruise lines should follow in returning cruises, will become a non-binding guideline rather than a binding rule. Judge Stephen Merriday, who denied the motion, called the order an unreasonable, unprecedented and harmful use of government power.
5. Princess Cruises has released more details about its 2024 Alaska cruises. The Majestic Princess, which will depart from 25. July to 26. leaving Seattle in September for seven-night cruises, has released new details on onboard dining, entertainment, spa and fitness, and casino.
