Cunard Line, P&O Cruises cancel all 2017 calls to Turkey | Fox News

Turkey’s tourism industry has been dealt some heavy blows in the wake of deadly terrorist attacks and an attempted coup this summer. 

According to Cruise Critic, Carnival Corporation’s Cunard Line and PO Cruises have both confirmed the cancellation of all calls to Turkey next year. 

“After careful consideration, we have taken the decision to remove Turkey from all itineraries in 2017 for both Cunard and PO Cruises, based upon various sources including advice given by the U.K.’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office,” the cruise lines said in a statement.

Planned stops in Turkey will be replaced with calls in Greece and Albania.

The news may disappoint travelers looking forward to enjoying some of Turkey’s historic sites, Cunard and PO aren’t the first cruise lines to pull out of the troubled destination.
