45 days for US-based ships

All US-based sailings are now being halted for 45 days.

The company has been progressively winding down across areas considered at high risk for coronavirus transmission in the Mediterranean, the Arabian Gulf and Asia.

South America and South Africa

Ships sailing in South America and South Africa will also go out of service at the end of their current itineraries.

All other operations have either already halted or will wind down progressively as certain local itineraries, in particular in South Africa and South America come to an end and will resume on or after 30 April.
