Taiwan Approves the Return of International Cruise Ships
Ending a cruise ban that had been in place since 2020, Taiwan is welcoming the return of international ships to its ports.
The change was confirmed in late October when the country’s Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) officially approved new guidelines for homeporting and transit operations of international cruise vessels.
According to a press release, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications’ Maritime and Port Bureau (MPB) also informed cruise lines about the new operating guidelines, inviting international vessels to visit the country and “facilitate the revitalization” of the local industry.
