Port calls in Israel skipped after Hamas attack
The 'Meni Schiff 5', which is currently on a week-long cruise in the Eastern Mediterranean, where calls were also planned in the two Israeli ports Haifa and Ashdod, had to cancel these due to the security situation there. Serious attacks by Hamas from the Gaza Strip against Israel are making route changes for cruise ships unavoidable in order not to endanger the safety of passengers and crew members. The calls in Haifa on Oct 11, 2023 and in Ashdod on Oct 12 have thus been canceled. At the weekend. The port calls will be replaced by Marmaris and Santorini. My ship had to request multiple cruise ports in order to continue to visit five destinations in one week with the 'Mein Schiff 5'. Berths in Egypt, Greece, Turkey and Cyprus are currently in high demand as many cruise lines do not call at Israel for security reasons. The shipping companies are trying to find alternative ports. If this is not possible, port calls sometimes have to be replaced by days at sea. On Oct 10 the 'Mein Schiff 5' berthed in Limassol, the other destinations of the current cruise, which ends in Heraklion on Crete on Oct 15, are Marmaris, Rhodes and Santorini. No route changes have yet been announced for the second cruise on the Eastern Mediterranean route with Israel, departing on Oct 22.
