COVID-19, commonly referred to as the Coronavirus, is dominating headlines the world over. The travel & tourism sector is suffering significant disruption and the cruise industry is being greatly impacted.

Key Highlights

• Many operators have temporarily suspended all voyages, with many others cancelling a number of cruises. This comes in an unprecedented week for the industry, as share prices have plummeted. Carnival's stock has dropped by nearly 60% while Royal Caribbean and Norwegian have lost more than 70% of their value over the past 30 days.
• The influence of the cruise industry is far reaching. Many small island nations rely heavily on the jobs and cash flow that ships provide.
• According to Skift, the cruise industry contributes $2 billion to the Caribbean each year.
• This results in a 5.9% contribution to some nations' entire GDP, as is the case with St Kitts and Nevis.
• A fall in cruise tourism could be disastrous for these kinds of countries and the many people that rely on tourism for their livelihoods.
• The short term goal for cruise businesses at this stage is undoubtedly survival. This will most likely mean obtaining loans or government intervention to keep companies afloat.
