On July 7th Cruise West’s ship SPIRIT hit a sandbar and went aground in Alaska’s Glacier Bay on the 3rd day of a 4 day cruise out of Juneau. The accident resulted in no injuries or environmental damage. Initially Cruise West cancelled the next four sailings of the ship, but they have now announced that the rest of the season has been cancelled.
The cruise line has decided to combine the grounding related repairs with the ships regularly scheduled maintenance and refurbishments in Seattle.
Cruise West is giving full refunds to all cancelled passengers in addition to a $500 cruise credit to those who book a future cruise.
Was unable to find any details on the Cruise West website.
