A report in Cruise Industry News says that July will see the quick restart of the cruise industry continue [sadly not in Australia] with 141 cruise ships from 50 different operators set to sail with paying passengers aboard, according to the July 2021 edition of the Cruise Ships in Service Report by Cruise Industry News. 

The 141 ships represent over 180,000 berths at full occupancy, with MSC Cruises having the biggest operational footprint of the lines back in service, as the world’s fastest-growing cruise line is set to operate seven ships this month and over 25,000 berths.
