Cruise line cancels sailings for disturbing reason. Customers will be able to get their money back or switch to other sailings
While some airlines have been cautiously running flights to Dubai and Doha amid the widespread regional conflict caused by the U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran, cruise lines with ships stuck in the Persian Gulf face a tougher challenge.
Ships that are now forced to remain in port indefinitely include the MSC Euribia, TUI’s Mein Schiff 4 and Mein Schiff 5 and Discovery and Journey of Celestyal Cruises.
While guests who were on journeys through the region at the time of the strike on Feb. 28 have by now mostly been evacuated and repatriated home on charter flights, the ships themselves are unable to get out of port due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
