Royal Caribbean Halts Haiti Cruise Stops Due to Violence

The cruise line suspends visits to its private resort in Labadee, Haiti, as a precaution amid escalating violence and political instability in the country.

Royal Caribbean has suspended cruise ship stops to Labadee, Haiti, citing ongoing violence and political uncertainty as the reason.
The suspension affects several sailings through mid-March, with the company monitoring the situation for further adjustments.
Labadee is a private resort owned by Royal Caribbean, located far from the major cities where gang violence and civil unrest are concentrated.
Haiti's Prime Minister Ariel Henry announced his resignation amid the crisis, adding to the political turmoil.
The U.S. has deployed a Marine anti-terrorism unit to protect its embassy in Port-au-Prince, and citizens are advised to leave Haiti if possible.
