ONGOING political turmoil in Egypt
has forced Seabourn’s hand, with the line
becoming the latest to cancel all remaining
cruise visits to the country for this year.
Two departures on 05 Oct and 20 Oct to be
sailed by Seabourn Legend are affected, along
with a 12 Oct voyage on Seabourn Odyssey,
with port visits to Alexandria, Hurghada, Sharm
el-Sheikh and Safaga to now go elsewhere.
A Seabourn spokesperson told CW the safety
of its guests and crew was its top priority.
“We will continue to monitor all ports
for future cruise visits and should further
adjustments be required, travel agents and
guests will be notified”.
Seabourn’s decision follows a similar move by
MSC Cruises, who will replace Red Sea voyages
with trips to the Canary Islands instead.
