THE Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association has insisted itineraries in the Caribbean are now operating normally, after a slate of recent cancellations and reroutings surrounding the United States’ strikes in Venezuela earlier this month.
Itineraries with Windstar Cruises (pictured), Virgin Voyages, and Norwegian Cruise Line have recently been affected by the strikes, which saw the US capture Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro (CW 05 Jan).
“Cruise itineraries in the Caribbean are currently operating normally,” a statement from the FCCA said.
“Lines work closely with global security experts and government authorities, actively monitoring planned routes and itineraries to make adjustments if needed, always prioritising safety and security.
“Our mission at Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association is to work alongside our cruise line members to help Caribbean and Latin American destinations thrive while ensuring guests have amazing experiences, safely and securely,” the statement said.
