COVID-19 has created a lot of uncertainty around international travel and events in the coming months. As a result Cruise Ship Interiors Expo America and Cruise Ship Hospitality Expo America has been cancelled. As a result, he 2021 event reverts back to the original month of June (June 8 - 9 2021).
"It is no secret the cruise industry has been drastically affected by the current pandemic and we therefore understand that attending a trade show is not a priority at this time. We want to provide the industry with a show which is beneficial for all involved, at a time when there is more positive news to share and it is safe to do so. September does not feel the right time to do this and hence the decision to cancel until June next year," CEO Toby Walters said in a statement.
