Royal Caribbean Suspends Haiti Labadee Visits Through May 2026

Royal Caribbean has extended its suspension of visits to Labadee, Haiti through at least May 2026 due to ongoing security concerns stemming from escalating gang violence and political instability in Haiti, particularly around Port-au-Prince. The cruise line emphasizes that passenger and crew safety is its top priority and has been monitoring the situation closely, leading to the cancellation of dozens of scheduled sailings to Labadee. To accommodate affected passengers, Royal Caribbean is adjusting itineraries by substituting Labadee with alternative Caribbean ports such as Grand Turk, Falmouth, Nassau, Puerto Plata, and CocoCay, or adding additional days at sea. Guests who had purchased shore excursions at Labadee are receiving onboard credits applied to their SeaPass accounts. This decision reflects Royal Caribbean's commitment to traveler safety amid regional unrest and aligns it with other industry leaders responding to instability in the Caribbean. The cruise line continues to communicate with travel agents and passengers to manage these itinerary changes and ensure a safe, enjoyable cruise experience.
