Overview
- Royal Caribbean confirmed it has paused all calls to its private Labadee resort in northern Haiti until spring 2026.
- The cruise line is rerouting ships to alternative ports, including Jamaica, the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic.
- The U.S. State Department maintains a Do Not Travel advisory, citing kidnappings, crime, civil unrest, limited medical care and documented ransom demands reaching into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- Germany’s Foreign Office issued an urgent warning advising nationals to leave Haiti, reporting a state of emergency, a night curfew and the closure of its embassy in Port‑au‑Prince.
