Royal Caribbean extends its suspension of cruise ship visits to Labadee, Haiti, through June 2027, according to multiple reports. The suspension remains in place as the country faces ongoing security and governance challenges. The reports cite Haiti’s current conditions, including widespread gang violence and political instability. Both outlets also reference the United States government’s assessment that Haiti warrants a Level 4 “Do Not Travel” advisory, reflecting heightened risks for travelers.
The decision means cruise itineraries that would typically stop at Labadee continue to be unavailable to passengers during the extended period. The company’s stated rationale is safety concerns for travelers, tied to the security environment in and around Haiti. The reports do not describe any specific changes or incident that triggered the extension, but present it as a continuation of existing measures driven by prevailing conditions. The suspension through June 2027 covers the foreseeable future scheduling window referenced by the outlets.
