This major cruise line canceled 5 cruises: See the impacted sailing dates
Carnival Cruise Line canceled five cruises aboard its Carnival Breeze ship. 'As we manage a busy dry dock schedule, we must sometimes adjust our sailing schedule to accommodate planned maintenance,' the cruise line told USA TODAY in an emailed statement. 'Affected guests and their travel advisors were informed of this change several weeks ago and we assisted in finding other sailing options. We appreciate their understanding.' Five sailings were impacted in total. Those include a cruise departing on Jan. 11, 2027, and four back-to-back sailings between March 5 and March 22, 2027. The ship will be sailing from Galveston, Texas, in early 2027, according to CruiseMapper. Cruise cancellations are relatively rare, but can happen for various reasons, including when a ship needs to go into dry dock or is booked for a full-ship charter, among others. MSC Cruises confirmed earlier this month that it had scrapped around five months of cruises on its MSC Meraviglia ship, which will spend its winter 2026-2027 season in Miami instead of New York. Norwegian Cruise Line also canceled over four months of cruises on two ships in July, citing 'a fleet redeployment.'

There were 192 passengers and six crew members on board the Guatemala-bound aircraft, according to Delta. There were no reported injuries.

"We apologize to our customers for the experience and delay in their travels," The airline said to USA TODAY in an emailed statement.

Some passengers were not wearing seatbelts as serving carts were making their way down the aisle, ABC News reported at the time. Passengers hit the ceiling and then fell to the ground, Leann Clement-Nash, one of the passengers on board, told the outlet. "It happened several times, so it was really scary," said Clement-Nash.

Two expeditions in one: New Seabourn cruise takes guests to Arctic, Antarctica
Seabourn already takes guests on expedition cruises to the icy wilds of the Arctic and Antarctica. Now, a new itinerary will combine both into one voyage. The luxury line will offer its 'Pole to Pole: Grand Expedition' in 2027, sailing more than 20,500 nautical miles over 94 days. 'This is the first time in Seabourn's history – and one of the first in the cruise industry – that a luxury expedition has been designed to explore both polar regions in a single sailing,' Robin West, Seabourn's Vice President of Expedition Operations & Planning, told USA TODAY in an email. 'The idea was born from our desire to push the boundaries of expedition travel and create a journey that few could even imagine, let alone undertake. With Seabourn Venture's advanced capabilities and PC6 Polar Class rating, we knew we had the right ship to make it a reality.' Here's what guests can expect. When is Seabourn's 'Pole to Pole' expedition? The itinerary will start in Reykjavik, Iceland, on Aug. 17, 2027. Guests will spend the night there before taking a charter flight to Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, to board the 264-guest Venture. Where will the expedition cruise go? West said the sailing's combined format will give visitors a 'much deeper perspective.' 'Traveling from pole-to-pole in a single expedition allows guests to witness the full spectrum of Earth's most remote environments,' he said. 'In doing this, the format eliminates itinerary repetition and creates a natural progress through changing ecosystems, cultures, and wildlife. It also gives our expedition team the opportunity to guide our guests through the shifts in environment across hemispheres.' Passengers will explore destinations in 14 countries and territories, from Canada to Brazil and Argentina, and explore famed waterways and remote regions. Those include six days in the Northwest Passage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans; three days in South Georgia, home to king penguins and other wildlife; and five days in Antarctica. The trip also includes three days at Ellesmere Island, a lesser-visited destination in the Arctic Archipelago. 'The island is home to fewer than 200 people and remains one of the most pristine and isolated environments on Earth,' said West. 'Our guests will have the rare opportunity to explore Canada's northernmost landmass – an area few will ever reach – featuring dramatic Arctic landscapes such as ice caps, ancient glaciers, and rugged mountain ranges.' Guests will primarily explore Alexandra Fiord, and get the chance to see musk oxen, polar bears, walruses and more. The agenda isn't all chilly, either: other stops include warmer locales such as Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia and Barbados. The adventure will come to a close in Ushuaia, Argentina, where passengers can board a charter flight to Buenos Aires. Cheapest Arctic and Antarctica cruises: How to book an epic voyage without overspending How much does the 'Pole to Pole' expedition cruise cost? The 94-day expedition starts at $104,999 per person based on double occupancy. That includes dining on the ship, Zodiac landings, onboard lectures, Wi-Fi and more. The sailing is currently available to book for previous Seabourn guests, and opens to the general public on Aug. 13.
