Cruise ships left Red Sea after attacks by Houthis

Cruise ships can’t go to the Red Sea because of the fighting in Yemen.

Carnival Corporation changed the course of 12 of its ships to go to a different area.

The ships are Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 and P&O Cruises’ Arcadia. They were supposed to go back to Southampton through the Suez Canal and Mediterranean.

Both ships will take an additional seven to 10 days to travel around the southern tip of Africa and then head home through the Atlantic.

Passengers will spend more time on the boat and less time visiting places they wanted to see, which they already paid for.

People who only booked the last part of the world cruises have had their trips cancelled.

Queen Mary 2 carries over 2,500 passengers, and Arcadia carries a little less.

A Cunard representative said the company is focused on keeping its guests and crew safe and healthy.

The person speaking said, “After considering recent events and talking to security experts and government officials, we have decided to change our route. ”

The Houthi rebels from Iran have been attacking ships in the Red Sea because they are angry about the Israel-Gaza conflict.

They haven’t attacked cruise ships yet, but they have been attacking navy ships and cargo ships.

Ships from Southampton usually go to sunny places during the winter and come back in March or April for the summer season in Europe.

Carnival Corporation, the biggest cruise company in the world, said it will have to spend more money on fuel because of changes to the cruise routes.
