1886 Cruise Ship
We asked two maritime lawyers A Holland America Line cruise ship makes its way down Gastineau Channel as it leaves Juneau Alaska.
1886 cruise ship. Her new name was Volkerfreundschaft meaning the Peoples Friend. Due to the Passenger Vessel Services Act of 1886 these are the only overnight passenger ships currently eligible to sail solely between US. Is Canada allowing cruise ships in 2021.
But why do cruise ships have to call on foreign ports. PVSA is the law requiring foreign-flagged cruise ships operating in American waters to stop at least once per voyage in a foreign port. This means that without a stop in Canada cruising to Alaska even from Seattle will most likely not happen in 2021.
Rotterdam II was built in 1878 for British Ship Owners Co. Roughly 350000 hotel-night stays in Vancouver in 2019 were attributed to the cruise ship operations. And just last month new bills were introduced in the US senate to permanently repeal and reform the 1886 Passenger Vessel Services Act that mandates cruise ships to call at a foreign port between the stops at US ports.
The PVSA is bad news said Sen. For Alaska this issue is compounded by the Passenger Vessel Services Act of 1886 enacted by the 49 th United States Congress on June 19 1886. This proposal is intended to bring more economic benefits to American port cities that would otherwise go to Canada and Mexico.

Currently the Passenger Vessel Service Act passed in 1886 requires large foreign-flagged ships to stop in Canada before heading north to the state which wouldnt be possible this year as Canada extended its cruise ship ban through February 2022. There is very little demand for cruising between just. Must make a stop in a foreign port.
