Swine Flu Outbreak Redirects Cruise Ships Towards Victoria


Royal Caribbean International has suspended trips to Mexico due to swine flu fears, and has redirected six of its sailings to Victoria, Canada during the month of May. This is welcome news to British Columbia as it is projected this move will bring $4.5 million to the local economy.

Carnival Splendor is also providing a makeup sailing for the temporary cancellation of its Mexico cruise. This sailing departs June 7th from Los Angeles, and visits Astoria, Victoria and Vancouver before returning to Los Angeles.
