A new wave of cancellations has been announced for Labadee Royal Caribbean's private beach destination in northern Haiti.

Travel agents were informed this week that the Royal Caribbean cruise line will extend the suspension of calls to Labadee Haiti, until the end of October 2025.

Royal Caribbean had already canceled calls to Labadeestarting in April 2025 due to gang violence that raised safety concerns. Previously, the cancellations were scheduled to end in early August, but Royal Caribbean has decided to extend them until October.

"We have been monitoring the evolving situation in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and out of an abundance of caution, we're cancelling our visits to Labadee through October 31st," the company stated in an email.

All prepaid excursions will be automatically refunded, and all other affected Royal Caribbean International prepaid shore excursions will be rescheduled.
