Labadee is a roughly 260-acre peninsula on Haiti's north coast that Royal Caribbean has leased since 1986, making it one of the oldest cruise line private destinations still in use. Royal Caribbean has suspended calls there since 2024 amid a US State Department Level 4 travel advisory for Haiti, and has extended that suspension more than once.
