Thank you to our friends at Cruise Industry News as here is their latest June 2021 update of cruise ships currently sailing around the world, with the cruise industry comeback continuing with ships sailing in Europe and even more entering service in June in Europe, North America and elsewhere.
Sadly, very few in Australia, with only adventure orientated ships in the top end that have also moved from Darwin to Broome, as a result of the Northern Territory Government’s considered strange and uninformed decision to only allow ships with 150 in total crew and passengers and only 2 at a time to operate in the Territory.
So, here are the 71 cruise ships currently back in service or planning restarts in June, with more to come, but of course with the Federal Government’s international travel ban, Australians can only travel on those very few ships operating in Australia!
