Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several significant developments within the cruise industry for Monday, June 15th. The Gemini, a vessel associated with the failed Life at Sea World Cruise project, has been seized by a Greek court due to debts owed by operator Marray Cruises. Reports suggest that approximately 25 crew members remain on the ship without pay for two months, while concerns grow regarding dwindling fuel and provisions. In another incident, video footage captured a physical altercation between passengers on the Carnival Liberty during a seven night cruise from New Orleans. Meanwhile, a Tui Cruises vessel, the Mein Schiff Relax, experienced a delay in Germany after security screenings detected traces of explosives in a shipment of steel cable. A bomb squad cleared the area after two hours, allowing the ship to depart for Oslo as scheduled. In shipbuilding news, French builder Chantiers de l'Atlantique officially laid the keel for the seventh Oasis class ship for Royal Caribbean, which is expected to enter service in 2028. The report concludes with a summary of mixed performance in cruise industry stocks, noting gains for Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian, while Viking saw a slight decrease.
