quote:From MaritimeMatters:No Suez For SeabournMarch 25: Spring will not see the SEABORN SPIRIT taking passengers through the Suez Canal. An April 10 cruise from Mumbai (Bombay), India, to Alexandria, Egypt including calls in Oman, Dubai and Jordan, was cancelled. Instead SEABORN SPIRIT will deadhead through the canal and pick up its scheduled itinerary to Greece April 27. The cancellation was based on a low 60% occupancy rate and the "added shakiness" of sailing through the region.
