Royal Caribbean Extends Suspension of Labadee Calls Until 2028
The cruise line has canceled a new wave of stops at its private Haitian beach destination, Le Nouvelliste reports.
Royal Caribbean has announced a new wave of cancellations affecting visits to its private beach destination of Labadee, in northern Haiti, extending the suspension until early 2028, according to the Royal Caribbean Blog dated October 30, 2026, as reported by Le Nouvelliste. Travel agencies received a notice last Friday informing them of itinerary changes affecting cruises that were scheduled to stop at Labadee, the newspaper reported. The planned visits are being replaced by other ports of call or by additional days at sea, through April 2028. The report links the decision to persistent insecurity in Haiti, which has weighed on the country's tourism profile. Le Nouvelliste noted the extension builds on earlier cancellations: the cruise line had previously suspended its Labadee calls through the end of 2026. The outlet also referenced U.S. assessments of travel conditions in Haiti and continued downgrades of the country's standing. Full details of the operator's reasoning were not available in the published excerpt. The development marks a further blow to one of Haiti's long-standing sources of tourism revenue and foreign currency.
