British Columbia’s first cruise season in three years appears to be getting off to a bumpy start, with the cancellation of the first vessel scheduled to dock in B.C. since the beginning of the pandemic.

Princess Cruises’ Caribbean Princess was scheduled dock in Victoria on April 6 and Vancouver on April 7.

The company says the cancellation is due to work it wants to do on the vessel, however U.S. officials have confirmed they are also investigating cases of COVID-19 on board.

The U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Infection has listed the vessel with an “orange” status, meaning the number of reported cases on board (0.3 per cent or more of passengers and crew) meets its threshold for investigation.

Princess Cruises confirmed the Caribbean Princess’ planned four-day sailing from San Francisco to Vancouver had been cancelled, but did not cite COVID-19 as a reason.
