Royal Caribbean Group is removing Israel from its 2024 itineraries, according to an email sent to travel agents seen by Reuters, making it the second major US cruise operator to alter its plans over the conflict with Hamas.

The Miami, Florida-based cruise operator is modifying itineraries as late as October 2024 for its Royal Caribbean International unit that stops in Israel, the email said.

Travel has declined sharply across Israel and the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank. International air carriers have halted trips to top destinations such as Jerusalem and Tel Aviv as Israel continues to bombard Gaza after the surprise attack by Hamas on Oct 7.
