Cruise ships begin to leave Arabian Gulf as Strait of Hormuz declared ‘open’
Cruise ships that have remained docked in the Arabian Gulf since late February amid tensions between the US and Iran have begun to depart the region.
The development comes following confirmation from the Iranian government that the Strait of Hormuz is open to maritime traffic, allowing long-delayed repositioning voyages to resume.
Celestyal Cruises’ Celestyal Discovery became the first vessel to transit the Strait, departing the Gulf on Friday evening in a move that signals the start of a broader phased exit for ships that had remained alongside in the UAE and Qatar.
