Seychelles plans to reopen cruise ship season in August
Seychelles expects to reopen its cruise ship season in August when cruise ships with a maximum capacity of 300 passengers will be allowed to visit the islands.
Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism Sylvestre Radegonde announced the decision Tuesday following a meeting with partners related to cruise ships to discuss whether the country was ready to re-launch the cruise ship season as the country opens its borders to visitors coming by air. Bringing together destination management companies, ship handing agents, health officials and the ports authorities, the meeting also examined whether there was a demand for a reopening to cruise ships.
Radegonde told journalists that his ministry will now work on a proposal to be presented to the cabinet of ministers to have the moratorium imposed last year due to Covid-19 revoked.
