Because all the Cruise lines are hit at the same time with the Covid virus , many small cruise lines are going bankrupt and have to sell their ships to pay creditors and the larger lines are reducing their fleet to cut back on expenses, most cruise ships end up in the scrap yards of India, Bangladesh and Turkey, and boat building yards that can dismantle them. - Tom

I was in the business. Twenty years in ship repair and new construction. We were most recently bought out by a scrapper who had plans to scrap big ships. I’m not there anymore, but now there other plans for the facility.
