Middle East Conflict - Airspace closures and the temporary grounding of flights

Escalations involving Israel and Iran, and the neighbouring regions including Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates have resulted in the immediate closure of airspace and the temporary grounding of flights to and from the region.

Our priority is the safety and reaccommodation of guests directly impacted during this time. We strongly encourage all guests scheduled to travel on Emirates, Qatar Airways, or Etihad Airways to closely monitor their flight status via the relevant airline app or official website.

As the situation remains fluid, guests should review their airline’s disruption policies and travel waivers, which are currently being assessed and updated. Our dedicated Flights Team is actively contacting Scenic and Emerald Cruises guests with impacted bookings in order of departure date.

We remain committed to supporting our guests and will continue to assist with alternative arrangements where it is safe and operationally feasible to do so.
