Beth Bodensteiner, HAL’s chief commercial officer, said: “The safety of our guests and crew is of the utmost importance, and we have made the decision to avoid the Red Sea after close consultation with global security experts and government authorities.
“Making this change now allows us to provide certainty for our guests in preparing for this 124-day trip around the world.”
She added: “The new itinerary was built with guest experience top of mind and maintains exciting European and African destinations with even more ports to explore in the Mediterranean.”
