Cruise News Roundup: European River Drought, Labadee Closure and 2028-29 Deployments

Severe drought is disrupting European river cruises, while Royal Caribbean extends its Labadee suspension and reports a second missed Naples call. Viking and Celebrity also open details of their 2028-29 programs.

Welcome to The Deck Briefing — your quick daily read for everyone who loves ships, sea days, and stories from the decks. Here’s what’s making waves on August 11, 2026.

Today's cruise news roundup covers drought-related changes on Europe's rivers, Royal Caribbean's extended Labadee closure, repeated Naples omissions for Legend of the Seas, Viking's 2028-29 ocean program and Celebrity Cruises' 2028-29 deployment.

Drought Disrupts European River Cruises

Severely low water levels on the Danube and Rhine are forcing river cruise lines to consider itinerary changes, ship swaps and cancellations, Cruise Hive reports. Heat waves and a drought that began early in the summer have contributed to historically low levels on major European rivers, making some routes difficult for ships to navigate safely.

Viking is monitoring conditions and says its use of identical sister ships on the same itinerary can allow guests and luggage to move around an affected section of river while keeping the same stateroom assignment. Saga Cruises is also reviewing conditions and plans to contact affected guests in departure-date order.

Uniworld has changed the first four days of its August 9, 2026, itinerary and plans to transfer guests from SS Elisabeth to SS Antoinette on August 13. The ship swap will not affect onboard programming and activities, while Uniworld says its team will handle the transfer and luggage.

Avalon Waterways has cancelled selected Danube Dreams cruises because of low water levels and is contacting affected guests individually. The cruise lines are warning that changes may occur close to departure because river conditions can shift if sufficient rainfall arrives.

Low water can prevent ships from completing planned routes and may create risks including running aground, which could result in damage or injuries. Cruise lines are continuing to monitor the Danube and Rhine and will update guests if their sailings are affected.

Royal Caribbean Extends Labadee Closure Through June 2027

Royal Caribbean has extended its suspension of ship calls at Labadee, Haiti, through June 2027, Royal Caribbean Blog reports. Ships with scheduled Haitian calls have been rerouted to ports including Costa Maya in Mexico and Nassau in the Bahamas, or have received an additional sea day.

The destination is not completely inactive. Royal Caribbean continues to send ships on brief supply visits and maintains a small staff at the private resort, while the company says it remains committed to its operations and community support in the area.

Adventure of the Seas made a short stop at Labadee on August 9 during a nine-night cruise from Port Canaveral to CocoCay and the Southern Caribbean. Photos shared from the visit showed an otherwise nearly empty resort, with only a few staff members present.

Royal Caribbean began leasing the northern coastal property from the Haitian government in 1986, later developing attractions including the Dragon's Breath Flight Line, Arawak Aqua Park and Dragon's Tail Coaster. The company has suspended calls since April 2025 amid security concerns in Haiti, while continuing initiatives that include a school, community infrastructure projects and a soccer field partnership.

Legend of the Seas Skips Naples Again

Legend of the Seas has missed its scheduled Naples call on two consecutive cruises, according to guest reports cited by Cruise Industry News. The second cancellation involved the August 7, 2026, sailing, with Marseille substituted on the same day.

The first reported omission was on the ship's July 25 cruise between Civitavecchia and Barcelona. Naples was removed the night before the planned visit, and Marseille was added instead.

Royal Caribbean reportedly attributed the changes to port restrictions following a dock assessment by the Italian Port Authority, saying conditions at a Naples pier currently prevent the ship from calling as scheduled. The 5,610-passenger ship is listed for weekly Naples visits through October before repositioning to Florida in early November for winter cruises from Fort Lauderdale.

Celebrity Details Expanded 2028-29 Deployment

Celebrity Cruises has announced a 2028-29 program featuring an expanded Europe season and itineraries across all seven continents. Celebrity said four Edge Series ships will sail in Europe for the first time, with additional programs planned for Alaska, Asia, Australia, New England and South America; the announcement was also reported by Cruise Hive.

Celebrity Summit will offer roundtrip Iceland sailings from Reykjavik, while Celebrity Apex will operate 12-night Scandinavia cruises and new 12-night British Isles itineraries that include the line's first visit to Galway, Ireland.

Other European plans include seven- to 11-night cruises to Italy, France, Spain, Morocco, Portugal, Greece and Turkey, plus 10- and 11-night Celebrity Constellation sailings focused on Italy and Croatia. Celebrity Infinity will again operate year-round in Europe, including the company's first Egypt sailings since 2023 and overnight calls in Alexandria.

Three Celebrity ships are scheduled to sail in Alaska in 2028. Celebrity Edge will return for a fifth season, Celebrity Equinox will make its first Alaska season with seven-night open-jaw cruises between Vancouver and Seward, and Celebrity Millennium will offer roundtrip sailings from Vancouver; Equinox will also operate new roundtrip Hawaii cruises from Los Angeles.

The deployment includes Australia and New Zealand sailings on Celebrity Edge and Celebrity Solstice, with 23 departures from Sydney and Auckland ranging from four to 14 nights. Further plans cover South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Japan and South America, including Antarctica itineraries and a 16-night holiday sailing timed for New Year's in the region.

Cruise News Roundup: MSC Rescue Near Ibiza, Alaska Assistance and More

MSC Musica rescued eight people near Ibiza, while Wilderness Legacy assisted stranded Alaska boaters. Santorini also reopened its cruise path, and Royal Caribbean and Carnival shared ship updates.

Welcome to The Deck Briefing — your quick daily read for everyone who loves ships, sea days, and stories from the decks. Here’s what’s making waves on August 10, 2026.

Today's cruise news roundup covers MSC Musica's rescue of eight people near Ibiza, Wilderness Legacy's assistance to stranded Alaska boaters, Santorini's reopened Karavolades Stairs, a shattered AquaDome panel on Legend of the Seas, and Carnival Festivale's construction progress.

MSC Musica Rescues Eight People Near Ibiza

MSC Musica rescued eight men from a disabled small boat about 16 miles east of Ibiza on July 31, 2026, Cruise Hive reports. The cruise ship was approaching the Spanish island for a scheduled port visit when its crew spotted the craft in distress shortly before 11:30 a.m.

The ship launched a lifeboat, and the men were transferred first to that boat and then aboard MSC Musica. The first mate, 27-year-old Roberto de Girolamo, led the operation, while Salvamento Marítimo and the Guardia Civil in Sant Josep were notified.

The men, reportedly from North Africa, were handed over to local authorities when the ship reached Ibiza; no further information about their identities or condition was released. MSC Musica was carrying 2,550 guests on a seven-night roundtrip Western Mediterranean voyage from Civitavecchia and returned to its homeport on schedule on August 3 without reports of a significant delay.

Wilderness Legacy Aids Stranded Alaska Boaters

UnCruise Adventures' Wilderness Legacy towed a fuel-starved skiff to safety in southeastern Alaska on August 3, Cruise Hive reports. The 21-foot Hewescraft boat requested assistance near Point Highland, about 85 miles south-southeast of Juneau, at 9:32 p.m.

The U.S. Coast Guard determined that the boat was not in immediate distress but needed assistance, then passed along the request at 9:56 p.m. Wilderness Legacy began its response at 10:58 p.m., towing the skiff more than nine miles to safe anchorage in Farragut Bay and supplying additional fuel.

The skiff was reported safely anchored at about 12:50 a.m. on August 4, completing the operation in just under three and a half hours. Two women, a child and a dog were believed to be aboard, with no injuries or vessel damage reported, and the 88-guest cruise ship was not significantly delayed.

A closer vessel, the 387-foot luxury yacht Launchpad, did not respond to the assistance request, according to the report. Launchpad is owned by Mark Zuckerberg, but the material does not explain why it failed to answer; the Coast Guard classified the incident as an assistance call rather than a distress call.

Santorini Reopens Karavolades Stairs

Santorini's Port of Fira has returned to normal operations after a collapsed wall temporarily blocked the Karavolades Stairs, Cruise Hive says. The Mayor of Thira, Anastasios Nikolaos Zorzos, reopened the route on August 3, after the damage was addressed and the walkway was deemed safe for pedestrians.

The closure had cut off the stepped route between the old port on the Bay of Fira and the city of Fira. Cruise visitors could still use the Santorini Cable Car or travel by road, while cruise operations were temporarily moved to Athinios, the island's main ferry port.

Athinios is about seven miles from Fira, with bus and taxi trips taking around 25 minutes. Greek authorities relocated cruise operations there on July 28, and shore excursions operated from the ferry port during the closure; no canceled port calls were publicly reported.

The previous limits on cruise arrivals are being enforced again now that the stairs have reopened, with up to 70% of guests required to disembark at Fira's old port and no more than 30% arriving through Athinios. Sixty ship calls remain scheduled for August 2026, including visits by MSC Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises and Princess Cruises.

Broken Glass Panel Spotted on Legend of the Seas

A glass panel in the AquaDome on Royal Caribbean's new Legend of the Seas has shattered, Cruise Hive reports. The discovery came just over a month after the Icon-class ship entered service on July 4, 2026, with the broken triangular panel apparently still held within its frame.

Royal Caribbean has not said what caused the glass to break. No injuries to guests or crew members were reported, and cruise tracking information showed the 5,610-guest ship continuing to sail normally in the Mediterranean near the end of a seven-night voyage scheduled to finish in Barcelona on August 9.

The AquaDome contains 673 glass panels and occupies the forward top deck of the 248,663-gross-ton ship. A similar triangular panel broke aboard the second Icon-class vessel, Star of the Seas, in May 2026, while a separate tempered glass panel on that ship shattered during a preview sailing on August 26, 2025.

Another glass-related incident occurred aboard Icon of the Seas in August 2025, when an acrylic panel on the Frightening Bolt waterslide shattered and injured a guest. That slide was closed on Icon of the Seas and Star of the Seas while the incident was investigated and repairs were completed.

Carnival Festivale Adds Propulsion Pods

Meyer Werft has released a construction video showing an azimuth thruster pod being installed on Carnival Festivale, Cruise Hive reports. The fourth Excel-class ship for Carnival Cruise Line now has both propulsion pods mounted, although the propellers will be installed closer to the vessel's launch.

The one-minute video shows cranes and rigging lifting a pod into position while engineers and construction workers oversee the installation. Welding is also visible in the background, and the ship's name appears on the aft hull beneath scaffolding.

Carnival Festivale and the other Excel-class ships use two azimuth thrusters to propel the 182,800-gross-ton vessel. Once completed, the ship is expected to reach 21.5 knots, or about 25 miles per hour.

The ship's steel was first cut on April 8, 2025, and its keel was laid on August 14, 2025. The engines were installed in March 2026, while the 949 crew cabins had been completed by mid-February and work was set to begin on guest staterooms.

Carnival Festivale is scheduled to welcome its first guests on May 19, 2027, on a four-night Bahamas cruise from Port Canaveral. Before that sailing, the ship still must undergo final outfitting, sea trials, delivery to Carnival, crew embarkation and a first transatlantic voyage to Florida.

Cruise News Roundup: Typhoon Disrupts Spectrum of the Seas, Naples Call Canceled and More

Royal Caribbean passengers face itinerary changes linked to a typhoon and Naples pier issues. The roundup also covers Captain Kate McCue’s resignation, MSC’s new private destination and Carnival’s eclipse-cruise loyalty changes.

Welcome to The Deck Briefing — your quick daily read for everyone who loves ships, sea days, and stories from the decks. Here’s what’s making waves on August 6, 2026.

Today’s cruise news roundup covers Royal Caribbean’s typhoon-related disruption aboard Spectrum of the Seas, a second consecutive Naples omission for Legend of the Seas, Captain Kate McCue’s resignation, MSC Cruises’ new Catalina Sugar Beach destination and Carnival’s changes to Platinum benefits on its solar eclipse sailing.

Typhoon Extends Spectrum of the Seas Sailing

Typhoon Dolphin and the closure of Shanghai’s Baoshan port have delayed Spectrum of the Seas’ return to Shanghai, Royal Caribbean Blog reports. The ship was due back on August 8, 2026, but the affected sailing has been extended and the next departure is now scheduled for August 11.

The revised five-night itinerary will replace calls at Osaka, Tokyo and Nagoya with visits to Jeju, South Korea, and Nagasaki, Japan. Guests who sail on August 11 will receive onboard credit ranging from $400 for inside staterooms to $1,100 for deluxe staterooms, while third- and fourth-berth guests will receive $150 each.

Royal Caribbean will reimburse up to $200 per guest for eligible non-refundable transportation change fees, provided documentation is submitted by September 16, 2026. Guests who do not want to take the revised sailing can instead receive a 100% future cruise credit valid for Royal Caribbean sailings through August 11, 2027, but prepaid excursions in Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo have been canceled and will be refunded within 14 business days.

Legend of the Seas Skips Naples Again

Legend of the Seas has canceled its Naples call for the second consecutive week because conditions at the Italian port’s pier prevented the ship from receiving clearance to dock, according to Royal Caribbean Blog. The ship had been scheduled to visit Naples on August 7, but will instead call at Marseille, France, on August 8 from 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Royal Caribbean told guests that a recent assessment by the Italian Port Authority found the pier unsuitable for the visit and said safety was the priority. Guests with prepaid shore excursions for Naples will receive automatic refunds, while the ship’s scheduled August 6 call at Civitavecchia, the port for Rome, was reported to remain unchanged.

The cause of the infrastructure issue and the date when authorities may clear the pier for larger ships have not been announced. More than five other ships, including MSC World Europa, Enchanted Princess, Costa Toscana and Viking Sea, visited Naples during the week, while passengers expressed disappointment about losing the destination during Legend of the Seas’ inaugural European season.

Captain Kate McCue Resigns From Four Seasons Yachts

Captain Kate McCue is leaving Four Seasons Yachts to spend more time with her family, Cruise Hive reports. She announced the resignation through social media on August 5, 2026, after changes in her family circumstances, including her father’s recovery from major back surgery and the unexpected death of her mother in June.

McCue said she had spent much of the previous year away from home while working and now plans to experience cruising as a guest with her father. His bucket list includes trying different types of cruise vessels, although McCue has not announced specific ships, cruise lines or destinations.

She is keeping her captain’s license active and has not ruled out returning to sailing. McCue has spent 30 years at sea, including 11 years as a captain, and during her career delivered two new ships and worked on a prototype vessel.

Carnival Removes Platinum Benefits From Eclipse Sailing

Carnival Cruise Line has removed several Platinum VIFP benefits from Carnival Legend’s August 9, 2026, departure from Dover, UK, Cruise Hive reports. The 11-night roundtrip sailing is the line’s first solar eclipse cruise and will be at sea for the total eclipse on August 12.

Platinum guests will not receive priority embarkation or debarkation, priority handling at ports, early stateroom access, early luggage dropoff or priority luggage delivery on this voyage. Priority service at the Deck 2 Guest Services desk and priority phone assistance may be offered only when demand allows, according to the notice sent to booked guests.

The Western Europe itinerary includes France, Guernsey, Spain, Portugal and Belgium before Carnival Legend returns to the UK on August 20. The ship can accommodate 2,124 guests at double occupancy, but Carnival does not publish the number of guests in each loyalty tier; the VIFP program is scheduled to be retired at the end of August.

Cruise News Roundup: Ponant’s Antarctic Expansion, Greenland Voyages, Royal Caribbean’s Europe Plans and More

Ponant is adding more than 30 Antarctic departures for 2028-29, while AIDAluna begins a 21-night Greenland voyage. Royal Caribbean also details its 2027 European deployment and more.

Welcome to The Deck Briefing — your quick daily read for everyone who loves ships, sea days, and stories from the decks. Here’s what’s making waves on August 1, 2026.

Ponant Plans More Than 30 Antarctic Departures

Ponant will operate more than 30 Antarctic departures during the 2028-2029 season, including its first full circumnavigation of Antarctica, Seatrade Cruise News reports. The programme will use four ships: Le Boréal, Le Lyrial, Le Soléal and Le Commandant Charcot.

AIDAluna Begins 21-Night Iceland and Greenland Cruise

AIDAluna has departed Hamburg on a 21-night cruise to Iceland and Greenland, Cruise Industry News reports. The itinerary includes eight destinations in the region and an overnight call in Ilulissat.

After leaving Germany on July 26, the 2009-built ship spent two days at sea before visiting Seydisfjordur and Akureyri in Iceland. Following three more sea days, the vessel is scheduled to reach Greenland in early August, with calls planned at Nuuk, Ilulissat, Sisimiut and Nanortalik.

The voyage also includes Isafjord and Reykjavik before AIDAluna returns to Hamburg. The ship is scheduled to operate another Iceland and Greenland cruise in late August, followed by a 43-night Caribbean and Bermuda voyage later in the year.

AIDAluna carries 2,030 passengers and underwent a seven-week drydock in 2023 through the AIDA Evolution modernization programme. The work added new features and restaurant concepts, updated public areas and staterooms, and created six family-friendly suites with private sun decks at the stern.

Royal Caribbean Sets Seven-Ship Europe Deployment for 2027

Royal Caribbean's 2027 Southern Europe programme will include seven ships and 50 itineraries, according to Cruise Industry News. The season will include the return of Legend of the Seas to the Western Mediterranean, where it is scheduled to sail to Spain, Italy and France.

How Royal Caribbean's AquaTheater Shows Come Together

AquaTheater performances combine diving, acrobatics, aerial stunts and water effects, but Royal Caribbean Blog reports that each show also depends on professional divers, performers, stage technicians and other crew members working behind the scenes. Their preparations include adjusting underwater lighting, coordinating the movable floor and cleaning the pool.

A former crew member said the pool may be drained on sea days so technicians and support divers can clean it, inspect equipment and test that everything is operating correctly. The water's chlorine level is also checked to help prevent discomfort for divers and dancers.

Safety divers support performers who jump from three, 10 and 17 meters into water that can reach nearly 18 feet deep. In an emergency drill shown in a video, divers secured a performer to a rescue board before the stage floor was raised to remove her from the pool.

The AquaTheater pool has three sections: stage right, a center lift and stage left. Performances can take place in water only a few inches deep or in the pool's deepest section, while the adjustable lifts move throughout the show.

Royal Caribbean introduced the AquaTheater on Oasis of the Seas in 2009. The feature is now present on nine ships in the fleet, including Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, Symphony of the Seas, Wonder of the Seas, Utopia of the Seas, Icon of the Seas, Star of the Seas and Legend of the Seas.

When an Inside Cruise Cabin May Be the Better Choice

Choosing an inside cabin instead of a balcony can make sense when keeping the cruise within budget is the priority, Royal Caribbean Blog says. Money saved on the room could instead be used for shore excursions, specialty dining and souvenirs.

Inside rooms may also suit light sleepers because they can become completely dark when the lights are off. The lack of direct sunlight can help keep the cabin cooler as well, particularly for travelers who prefer a cold room.

A cabin with no outside view may be less important on a ship with a long list of activities, including shows, laser tag, restaurants, water slides, pools, music and mini-golf. The source also suggests considering an inside room for port-intensive cruises, such as itineraries in Alaska or Europe, where passengers may spend much of their time ashore.

Carnival Vista Marks 10 Years in Service

Carnival Vista has completed its 10th year of service with Carnival Cruise Line after being delivered on April 28, 2016, Cruise Industry News reports. Built at Fincantieri's shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy, the ship was the first in Carnival's Vista class.

The 135,000-ton vessel introduced several features for the line, including the suspended SkyRide cycling experience, Family Harbor staterooms, Carnival's first at-sea IMAX Theater and an expanded WaterWorks park with the company's first inner-tube slide.

Carnival Vista began its service with eight- to 10-night Mediterranean itineraries and a 13-night inaugural voyage from Trieste to Barcelona. The ship later crossed the Atlantic to New York, moved to Miami for the 2016-17 winter season and began year-round Caribbean and Bahamas cruises.

Now sailing from Port Canaveral, the 4,000-passenger ship operates six- and eight-night cruises to the Southern and Eastern Caribbean. Current calls include Celebration Key, RelaxAway Half Moon Cay, San Juan, Amber Cove, Oranjestad and Willemstad.
