Cruise Ship Saves 12 Lives, Royal Caribbean Scouts New Destination in Freeport
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several significant developments within the cruise industry. On Tuesday night near the Dominican Republic, the Carnival Vista rescued six sailors from a life raft after a cargo vessel capsized. The ship captain altered the course from Amber Cove to assist the men and subsequently alerted the Coast Guard regarding six other missing crew members. This event follows a previous rescue by P&O Cruises Iona in the North Sea earlier in 2023. In other news, Royal Caribbean is exploring the acquisition of the closed Xanadu Beach Resort in Freeport, Bahamas. The twenty one acre property is located five miles east of the Freeport cruise port and is listed for thirty million dollars. If the deal proceeds, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity could develop a world class beach resort and water park on the site. Additionally, a startup has purchased the thirty year old ship Villa Odyssey for a three and a half year world cruise beginning next May. Finally, the report notes positive movement in cruise line stocks, with Carnival Corporation and Norwegian seeing notable increases in value.
