Creator's Key Takeaways

In 2026, the cruising landscape has shifted. Some of the most legendary ports in the world have been slapped with level four advisories.

The US State Department now lists all of Haiti as level four, do not travel. That is the highest warning level that exists.

Cruising is still one of the safest ways to travel. If you're smart, this video isn't here to scare you. It's here to stop you from becoming a statistic.
