Royal Caribbean’s Ultimate World Cruise Faces Uncertainty Amid Red Sea Unrest | Exclusive Update
Royal Caribbean’s Ultimate World Cruise is facing uncertainty as concerns over Red Sea unrest loom large. Passengers aboard the Serenade of the Seas are bracing for potential itinerary changes amid escalating tensions in the region.
Captain Stig, at a recent sendoff event, hinted at possible reroutes or early conclusions to the voyage due to safety concerns along the intended route through the Red Sea and Suez Canal. Tensions have been further fueled by civil unrest in Ecuador and Peru, along with ongoing military activity and piracy threats in the Red Sea.
Passengers, including prominent TikTok personalities like @drjennytravels and Abby Cooper, have been speculating about the fate of their 9-month journey. While Captain Stig reassured passengers that Royal Caribbean prioritizes safety and will not navigate through unsafe waters, rumors persist about drastic itinerary changes.
Abby Cooper’s video dispatch from her mother, a passenger aboard the ship, sheds light on the uncertainty gripping travelers. With potential missed ports and significant alterations to the cruise route looming, passengers are left uncertain about the future of their once-in-a-lifetime journey.
This uncertainty comes on the heels of previous alterations to the cruise itinerary due to global conflicts. Royal Caribbean has already adjusted routes, removing destinations like Russia, Ukraine, and Israel in response to geopolitical tensions.
The Ultimate World Cruise, divided into four segments with a total of 160 destinations, embarked on its journey from Miami in December 2023. Priced at $53,999 per person and upwards, the cruise promises an immersive experience spanning more than 60 countries over nine months.
As the voyage approaches its intended May leg through the Middle East and Mediterranean, passengers and crew alike are bracing for potential changes, hoping for clarity from Royal Caribbean as the situation unfolds.
