Popular cruises suspend island stop over escalating gang violence: What to know. Royal Caribbean’s private coastal peninsula is being removed from itineraries
As summer travel quickly approaches, cruise lines are steering clear of a Caribbean island due to safety concerns.
Royal Caribbean recently altered its sailing itineraries to exclude Labadee, a picturesque peninsula on Haiti’s northern coast, which has long been a highlight of Royal Caribbean’s Western Caribbean itineraries.
“Out of an abundance of caution, we have temporarily paused our upcoming visits to Labadee,” Royal Caribbean said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
The cruise line informed guests directly of the change in their itineraries, the spokesperson said. Sister brand Celebrity Cruises had already removed the stop on its cruises in recent weeks, the Miami Herald reported.
