Most itineraries that include stops in the impacted areas are not scheduled to begin until late spring or summer. Current sailings are in the process of being reevaluated or have already been adjusted. As always, our cruise line partners strive to provide to travelers’ memorable experiences that prioritize safety and make cruising the best way to see the world.  We encourage travelers with current bookings with us to check with us or your cruise line for more information on the status of your booked or intended cruise.
