A spokesperson for the cruise line said the cancelations were due to a variety of events "including the ongoing situation in the Red Sea and Israel, modified dry dock schedules for ship enhancements, a full ship charter, and lastly, to accommodate the demand for shorter close-to-home voyages to the Bahamas." 

These ships visit destinations such as the Western and Eastern Mediterranean, the Caribbean, the Adriatic Sea, the Middle East, the Red Sea, Asia and northern Europe, according to Cruise Industry News

The Pearl typically leaves from Miami, the Epic from Port Canaveral and the Jade from Tampa and Miami. 

Guests will receive a full monetary refund for their trip and a 10% discount for a future trip through Dec. 31, 2025, according to the cruise line.
