'Overnight, we successfully brought home 103 American citizens after they had been stranded for 10 days in Brazil following a cruise,' Trump said Monday.
After several days of being unsure how they would make their way home, 103 passengers from a Silversea Cruises cruise ship were flown home from Brazil, President Donald Trump said Monday."Overnight, we successfully brought home 103 American citizens after they had been stranded for 10 days in Brazil following a cruise," Trump said.
The Silver Shadow was one of several cruise ships that became marooned at sea or in ports as the coronavirus spread. Such cruises became stuck when either passengers or crew started showing symptoms of the coronavirus or governments wouldn't let ships dock out of fear infected passengers might be onboard."We are in close contact with all relevant government authorities relating to transport, and this work continues," said a Silversea spokeswoman, Melissa Charbonneau.
Major cruise lines including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and Celebrity announced they would suspend sailing operations to and from U.S. ports for 30 days due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cruise Lines International Association announced
