Royal Caribbean has adjusted its cruise itineraries for 2024 to avoid calls to Israel, the second major cruise line to do so after the war between Israel and Hamas disrupted operations.
"The safety of our guests and crew is our top priority," a Royal Caribbean spokesman said."Due to the continued uncertainty in the area, we're adjusting several itineraries in 2024." Earlier this week, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings said it was canceling its planned calls to Israel for 2024. Royal Caribbean is redeploying its Jewel of the Seas ship from Haifa, Israel, to Boston for 2024. Its Grandeur of the Seas ship will be redeployed from Haifa to Tampa, Fla. The Celebrity Cruises brand canceled all calls to Israel for its Celebrity Infinity ship for 2024.Voyages that were scheduled to visit Israel in 2024 accounted for less than 1.5% of Royal Caribbean's total capacity for the year, Chief Financial Officer Naftali Holtz said last week on a conference call with analysts.
"We don't know how long this conflict is going to go on for, which could very much inform where the consumer wants to go next year," Chief Executive Jason Liberty said.
