The Royal Caribbean Group is cancelling all of its scheduled calls to Labadee through December 2026, the company said in a statement.

According to the email sent to guests, the visits to the private destination in Haiti were cancelled due to security concerns.

“After ongoing evaluation and monitoring of the situation in Haiti, the organization has decided to extend the suspension of ship calls to Labadee through 2026,” the company said.

Following a brief resumption, Royal Caribbean has been cancelling all its visits to the destination since April 2025.

“This extended pause reflects our continued priority: the safety and well-being of our guests and team members,” the company continued.

“Please know that this was not a decision made quickly or without deep consideration. We explored every reasonable option and thought of all responsible alternatives.”

Part of Royal Caribbean’s portfolio of exclusive destinations, Labadee is located in Haiti’s Cape Haitien region.

“Ultimately, the conditions on the ground leave us with no path forward that allows us to operate safely and sustainably in the year ahead.”

The company added that it informed its Labadee team members of the decision, offering continued support.

“Please rest assured that we remain deeply committed to keeping them informed and treating everyone with care, dignity, and respect during this transition,” Royal Caribbean continued.

Updated itineraries for the ships that were set to visit Labadee are being communicated to passengers individually.

While some cruises will replace the stop at the destination with days at sea, others will visit different ports, such as Falmouth in Jamaica, Nassau in the Bahamas and Grand Turk in Turks and Caicos.

Some vessels are also replacing Labadee with visits to Royal Caribbean’s private island destination in the Bahamas, Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Mentioning “an abundance of caution” due to the evolving situation in Haiti, Royal Caribbean first cancelled its scheduled visits to Labadee in March 2024.
