Cruise stocks are continuing to rise higher on Wednesday as investors prepare for them to take on passengers again.
The initial news that sent cruise stocks sailing higher was an update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on travel over the weekend. That pushed shares of companies higher on Monday as it opened the way for cruises to possibly resume.
One of the major cruise companies was ready to spring back into action with plans to launch cruises again as early as July. However, the CDC still has to approve this plan. Even so, that isn’t stopping shares of cruise stocks from climbing higher today.

- Carnival (NYSE:CCL) stock is up 5.8% with more than 35 million shares changing hands as of this writing. The company’s daily average trading volume is 43 million shares. CCL released its earnings today, which also includes its new cruise plans following the CDC update.
