CMV announces further suspension of cruise operations until June 30

Due to the continued global pandemic outbreak, government advisories still in force and the lockdown of many countries and ports around the world, Cruise & Maritime Voyages (CMV) has taken the decision to further extend the suspension of all their worldwide cruises from May 25 to June 30 2020.

There were no reported cases of COVID-19 on any of CMV?s small to medium-sized ships. The top and overriding priority has been the health and safety of passengers and crew and they have been safely repatriated onboard and returning to their home ports in the UK & Germany. 

All affected passengers are being offered future cruise credit of 125% of the amount paid for the cruising holiday valid until March 31 2021 and redeemable against the best deal of the day including our great value Buy One Get One Free Offer applicable on all 2021 sailings. The Buy One Get One Free offer has been extended to May 31 2020.

Christian Verhounig, CEO of CMV, said: ?We are still unable to perform our scheduled itineraries and to deliver the travel experience normally enjoyed by our valued passengers. We have therefore taken the decision to temporarily further suspend all cruises until June 30 2020, when we very much hope to be able to resume service. We are proud to see that nearly 80 percent of our passengers affected by the cancellation of their cruise have re-booked onto future 2020 and 2021 cruises.?

CMV has extended its flexi-cancellation transfer policy for sailings departing up to August 31 2020. This allows existing booked passengers the chance to transfer, without charge, seven days prior to the sail date to any 2020-21 or 22 sailing and to receive a 125% Future Cruise Credit based on monies paid. This also applies to new bookings based on a 100% Future Cruise Credit on monies paid. Future Cruise Credits with transfers to new sailings are valid to March 31 2021.
