If it were baseball, you’d call the cruise ship season a “shut out.”

As of yesterday, there was hope that in the final inning of the cruise ship season, Kodiak would see one cruise ship arrive – the Silver Muse on September 11.

But Kodiak’s port agent, Nick Szabo, says he received word Tuesday from Cruise Line Agencies of Alaska that all cruise line sailings have been cancelled for 2020 season.

The Silver Muse is an ultra-luxury ship, owned by Silversea Cruises and built to accommodate more than 500 passengers.
