Safety concerns for ships in the Red Sea region led MSC Cruceros to cancel a repositioning cruise from Asia to Europe planned for early 2026.
For the MSC Euribia, which offers itineraries in the Middle East during the 2025-26 winter season, the cruise line had planned to offer a journey arriving in Germany on April 4, 2026, but the 29-night itinerary from Dubai Port to Kiel Port, with visits to destinations in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, Italy, Spain, Portugal, France and the United Kingdom, will not take place as scheduled.
“Considering that the current geopolitical situation still does not allow us to guarantee safe transit through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, we had to cancel the MSC Euribia’s Grand Voyage. Your safety and well-being are our number one priority and we want to provide you with the security and peace of mind you need before embarking on your cruise,” MSC Cruceros stated.
The cruise line arranged three options for affected guests, including cancellation or change of reservations.
