The cruise ship Carnival Breeze arrived in Southampton this morning as part of a Transatlantic repatriation voyage of Carnival Cruise Line’s European crew due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first group of crewmembers from the red list, already disembarked the ship today and boarded the flights back to their home countries. Around 70 crew members from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Zambia, Romania, and Australia signed off today.

Tomorrow another group of crewmembers from the green list is scheduled to sign off and return home. This group of around 165 crew members from Hungary, Macedonia, Spain, Portugal, and Serbia will debark the ship on May 17, and return home.
Carnival Breeze will then sail to Cadiz, Civitavecchia, and Dubrovnik to return the remaining crew.
