hello, we were in the process of booking a cruise to Egypt this year, though now this seems like a long shot due to the unrest there. The news are reporting that everything is moving on there, so does that mean we can take our cruise there? what are your thoughts?
Most major cruise lines have cancelled their port calls to Egypt as far as I know. Even though Egypt is not experiencing civil unrest, cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Lines have altered their upcoming itineraries to avoid the ports of Egypt. Having said this, Princess Cruise Line offers Europe cruises to Egypt on the Pacific Princess, which is basically a 12-day cruise from Rome to Athens featuring a stop in both Port Said and in Alexandria.
