For the first time in modern history, a complete shipping branch came to a total standstill in March 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic had reached the cruise industry and paralyzed it. All operators, including the big US-based concerns Carnival and Royal Caribbean, but also the inland cruise operators nearly simultaneously announced the suspending of all their cruise activities, by this following the recommendation of the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). When port authorities had announced, that they would not grant the ships permission to enter, the cruise liners had to be retracted from service, assembled at the world’s main cruise hotspots or returned to their homelands, where they were laid up. This meant the abrupt end of the cruise business. Germany’s Aida Cruises, a subsidiary of Italy’s Costa Crociere and thus part of the US Carnival group, immediately ended the actual cruises of all its 14 liners (Fig. 10.1).
