Pandemic impact

The current edition was published just a few months before the Covid-19 pandemic started to bite. We have not attempted to update this online version (or the new ebook version) as some situations change rapidly, while others are subject to unverifiable rumour.

So, if you are cruising now, please verify information before setting out for your destination and please understand that amenities ashore may be less than posted here or in the book. As 'compensation', you'll find many islands and beaches in the kind of pristine condition not seen for many years in the more developed tourist destinations.
