First, please join us in praying for the victims and their families of the attacks. It is heartbreaking to see the loss of life, limb, and property of innocent people.
Our priority is the safety of our guests. Guests currently in Israel remain safe, and those who are able to tour in secure areas will continue to do so. Due to the declaration of war, October 9 and 10 departures will receive further details via email.
For those with later departures, we know you are eager for more information. We ask for patience and understanding while we work with our partners and the airlines. Those scheduled to depart October 16 through 22 will receive an update via email by or on October 12. Those departing after October 22 should continue to watch our website, social media, and email for further updates.
We will continue to post updates to social media at least once a day or as the situation demands.
We are hopeful that, like most recent conflicts around the Israeli-Gaza border, this one will be short-lived.
Again, please continue to pray with us for the victims, their families, and loved ones.

Our guests in the Holy Land remain safe and able to tour select areas in Israel. Guests are also beginning their extension to Jordan or flying home via Jordan. Cruise guests who were supposed to call on Israel today have been diverted to Limassol.
We will contact each guest via email when specific information about their departure becomes available. Cruise guests scheduled to call on Israel later this month will receive emails about port substitutions. Their cruises will still embark as scheduled.
Our prayers and condolences continue to remain with the victims and their families.
