Cruise Lines Altering Itineraries to Avoid Hurricane Lee
12.09.2023 - 18:43 / travelpulse.com / Donald Wood
Hurricane Lee continues to strengthen as it grows larger this week, but the storm’s projected path has the travel industry—and the cruise lines especially—in the Caribbean and along the east coast of the United States on notice.
According to the National Hurricane Center, Hurricane Lee weakened significantly on Saturday from its maximum strength as a Category 5, but restrengthened back into a major Category 3 hurricane late Sunday and remained at that intensity on Monday.
Experts tracking the storm said Hurricane Lee will begin to move northward in the Atlantic Ocean later this week, according to Weather.com, bringing rain, wind and coastal flooding to Bermuda, Atlantic Canada and eastern New England, but the forecast remains uncertain.

Hazardous beach conditions to spread across the western Atlantic this week. Too soon to know level of impacts for US East coast or Atlantic Canada late this week, so stay tuned for updates. https://t.co/w5INoaj9KXpic.twitter.com/NaXXHp21Mz
While airlines have yet to start issuing travel waivers as they wait to see if and where the storm is expected to make landfall, cruise lines serving the Caribbean have been forced to alter itineraries and will continue to do so as Hurricane Lee cuts through the region.
On Facebook, Carnival Cruise Line Ambassador John Heald revealed that itineraries planned for Carnival Venezia and Carnival Magic have been altered. Venezia is now scheduled to visit Half Moon Cay instead of areas possibly impacted by the storm, while Magic’s plan would be “adjusted due to the storm,” but no additional details were provided.
Another company making preemptive changes is Royal Caribbean International, which has altered itineraries for four ships so far, including Adventure of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, Vision of the Seas and Wonder of the Seas.
“To ensure we have a safe and smooth journey, and to stay well away from Hurricane Lee's path, we've adjusted our itinerary,” a cruise line spokesperson told RoyalCaribbeanBlog.com.
Disney Cruise Line also revealed that at least one sailing scheduled for Bermuda has been altered to Western Caribbean itinerary to avoid Hurricane Lee. The company also said it would monitor the situation and change plans accordingly.
