Several cruise ships have had to alter their itineraries due to Hurricane Erin, as the Category 3 storm continues churn in the Atlantic towards the Eastern coast of the U.S.
Nine 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.
