Fishermen Blocked Our Cruise Ship From Port in Corsica
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
Our stop in Corsica was cancelled. Even though we were right there, we could see the shoreline from the front of the ship.
Our captain even tried negotiating with them. But after hours of waiting offshore, we received some news that I've never experienced before.
The following mass will be made by our cruise director Lord Simon to update on activities for the day and also should out we would not be going into Corsica after all and that it would just become a sea day for us.

Sun Princess was supposed to dock in Ajaccio, Corsica France… but instead our cruise ship was blocked from entering the port by fishermen protesting rising fuel prices. Fishing boats lined up across the harbor entrance, preventing ferries, cargo ships, and cruise ships from entering or leaving the island. Our captain even attempted to negotiate with the fishermen — but after hours waiting offshore, we were told something I have never experienced before on a cruise. Corsica was canceled. In this video I share exactly what happened from onboard Sun Princess, including the captain’s updates throughout the morning, what passengers did while we waited to see if the port would reopen, and the broader impact the protest had on cruise passengers, ferries, and tourism across Corsica. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛍️ Shop My Cruise Essentials (Amazon Storefront) From cabin must-haves to travel gear I use living full-time on cruise ships — these are my go-to items. → https://www.amazon.com/shop/livingoncruisecontrol (As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💌 Cruise Control Postcards Receive a real handwritten postcard from the cruise ships and ports I visit around the world.
