TWO ships have cancelled stops at the
Falkland Islands, citing different reasons.
AIDAcara has dropped its scheduled 3
December visit to Port Stanley due to political
tensions in Argentina, while Holland America’s
Veendam blames unpredictable weather.
Other media reports allege that cruise lines
have been deterred by a violent attack on a
shipping agent’s office in Buenos Aires.
Protesters have vowed to prevent ships from
berthing at Argentinean ports unless the
Falklands stops are cancelled.
Earlier this year, P&O’s Adonia and Princess
Cruises’ Star Princess were refused entry to the
Argentinian port of Ushuaia because they had
visited the Falklands.
