Regent has cancelled the Israeli three day portion of the trip, substituting two days at sea with embarkation in Turkey. Despite clear U.S. State Department warning about travel to Egypt and noting the murder of three tourists in Alexandria on Octoberer 8th,, Regent, at present, plans to continue the Egyptian portion of the cruise. I think it is unwise and risky to do this, but if I were to go on the cruise, I would need to stay on board the two days in Egypt. Then there is an additional day at sea. This is crazy and I will be demanding a refund.
PLEASE NOTE: From the U.S. State Department - today!!!
Egypt “RECONSIDER TRAVEL TO EGYPT DUE TO TERRORISM”
The Embassy is aware of multiple foreign tourists killed in an attack in Alexandria today, Oct 8, 2023. This incident may be related to ongoing hostilities in Gaza and Israel.
U. S. citizens in Egypt should exercise increased security awareness and precautions.”
It is both nonsensical and risky for Regent tp visit Egypt next week on this cruise. I cannot begin to contemplate the liability cost to Regent and its insurer if something goes wrong and passages are injured or killed.
