RCI/Celebrity Cancel Haines - Brief Article

Cruise Travel, March, 2001

Following a review of their Alaska itineraries for the 2001 season, when Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises will bring five ships to Southeast Alaska, plus offer a new rail service, the two lines have decided to cancel their calls to Haines this year to offset rising operating costs.

They will continue to offer shore excursions that showcase Haines, however, and will continue to work with many long-time local partners. Shore excursions to Haines will be staged from nearby Skagway. Haines had been a port-of-call for the Royal Caribbean brand since 1990. Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises are the two cruise brands operated by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
