Six cruise ships remain trapped in the Persian Gulf due to conflict in the Middle East, forcing cruise lines to cancel a slew of sailings — and leaving the floating havens for relaxation anything but.
While a majority of the whopping 15,000 cruise passengers that had been previously stranded in the danger zone have been repatriated, using a combination of private charters and other travel arrangements, a half-dozen ships that carried the vacationers and crew haven’t been so lucky — yet.
The ships included the MSC Euribia (currently in Dubai), TUI’s Mein Schiff 4 and (currently in Abu Dhabi) Mein Schiff 5 (currently in Doha), Celestyal Cruises’ Discovery (currently in Dubai) and Journey (currently in Doha), and the Saudi-based AroyaManara (currently in Dubai), People reported. All of their locations are visible on CruiseMapper.
