Cruise news today. A cruise ship detoured for a rocket launch. That’s what happened earlier this week as passengers aboard Holland America's Volendam were scheduled to visit Devil’s Island on the northeast coast of South America Monday, but the stop was axed due to a rocket launch from Europe’s Spaceport.

Port Canaveral is now the busiest cruise port in the world.
