Another Cruise Line Abandons the Middle East — And Their Ships Can't Even Leave Yet Celestyal

Another cruise line just canceled its entire Middle East season, and two of their ships are now trapped with no clear way out.

The straight of Hormuz, the only exit from the Persian Gulf, running directly past Iran. currently one of the most dangerous stretches of water on the planet.

The way in was fine. The way out is a war zone.

Guests on canceled sailings will receive full refunds or future cruise credits, but no credit makes up for being stuck in a port city while missiles fly overhead.
