Six major cruise lines have been adjusting their routes to steer clear of the storm’s path, which has impacted destinations including Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Here is a look at the ships and their new itineraries as of Tuesday, August 19, 2025. Keep in mind that this information is still fluid and more changes may be on the way.
Disney Cruise Line
- Disney Treasure: The August 16 sailing on Disney Treasure was originally an Eastern Caribbean cruise with calls in Tortola and St. Thomas. To avoid the storm, the ship has rerouted to the Western Caribbean, with new port calls in Cozumel, George Town, and Falmouth. The ship’s scheduled stop at Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, is still expected to proceed as planned.
Carnival Cruise Line
- Carnival Sunshine: Carnival Sunshine has canceled its scheduled Bermuda calls on August 20 and 21. Instead, the ship will be heading to Celebration Key, Carnival’s new private destination in the Bahamas, and Nassau before returning to Norfolk as scheduled.
Royal Caribbean International
- Vision of the Seas: Vision of the Seas has canceled its overnight visit to Bermuda. The ship is instead visiting Port Canaveral, Florida, and will also call at Nassau and Perfect Day at CocoCay.
- Freedom of the Seas: Freedom of the Seas is skipping its August 17 call in Nassau and returning to Miami a day early on August 18.
- Liberty of the Seas: Liberty of the Seas, which departed from Port Liberty, has canceled its visit to King’s Wharf in Bermuda and has been rerouted north for an overnight call in Halifax, Canada.

MSC Cruises
- MSC World America: The newly launched MSC World America has replaced its planned port calls to Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic and San Juan, Puerto Rico, with calls to Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico. The ship’s visit to Ocean Cay, MSC’s private island, is still scheduled.
Norwegian Cruise Line
- Norwegian Aqua: Norwegian Aqua was scheduled for a seven-night cruise to Bermuda. To avoid Hurricane Erin, the ship is now sailing north to Canada, with a planned visit to Saint John.
- Norwegian Jewel: Norwegian Jewel also had its itinerary adjusted, departing from its overnight call in King’s Wharf, Bermuda, a day early to avoid the worst of the storm.
Princess Cruises
- Enchanted Princess: Enchanted Princess changed its current itinerary and has swapped port stops in Dominica and St. Maarten for visits to Martinique and St. Kitts.
As Hurricane Erin continues its track, cruise lines are maintaining close communication with their fleet operations centers and local port authorities to ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers.
This list will be updated and adjusted as new changes are announced.
