Royal Caribbean Cancels All Labadee Stops Until 2028
Cruise line reroutes itineraries away from its private Haitian destination through April 2028, citing conditions in the country.
Royal Caribbean has announced a new wave of cancellations for calls at its private beach destination of Labadee, in northern Haiti, extending through early 2028, according to the Royal Caribbean Blog dated October 30, 2026, as reported by Le Nouvelliste and the Miami Herald. Travel agencies received notice last Friday informing them of itinerary changes affecting cruises that were scheduled to stop at Labadee. The planned visits are being replaced by alternate ports of call or additional days at sea, with the changes running through April 2028. The move marks an extension of earlier disruptions; Royal Caribbean had previously canceled its Labadee stops through the end of 2026. Labadee, a leased enclave on Haiti's northern coast, has long been a significant source of tourism revenue for the country. The latest decision comes amid ongoing insecurity that has weighed on Haiti's standing as a destination, with Le Nouvelliste noting that the United States has painted a grim picture of travel conditions. Royal Caribbean has not publicly detailed a timeline for the resumption of calls beyond the stated cutoff.
