Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), an industry group with 38 cruise companies, suspended operations from ports for 30 days last March 13 to reduce the risk of transmission of the coronavirus.

Recently, CLIA is imploring for permission from countries all around the world to allow the ships to dock for disembarkation of passengers.
