Ports Under Pressure

from Cruise News

Workers in Ushuaia warn that Argentina's federal takeover of the port could jeopardize the 2026-27 Antarctic cruise season, with more than 140 locked-out staff and threats of indefinite protests that could push operators toward Punta Arenas, Chile. Victoria, BC — Canada's busiest cruise port — welcomes three first-time callers in two days: Princess's Star Princess, Virgin's Brilliant Lady, and Silversea's Silver Nova. And Dover marks its first-ever four-ship day as the UK port heads for a fifth straight year of growth toward roughly 200,000 passengers in 2026.
