The destination, located on the country's northern coast, is a private beach resort owned and operated exclusively by Royal Caribbean. Labadee has historically been a popular stop on Royal Caribbean's Western Caribbean itineraries, serving as a way for travelers to experience Haiti's coastal beaches and partake in adventurous activities like zip lining. Since it operates separately from the rest of the country's tourism infrastructure, it is isolated from much of the unrest elsewhere in Haiti. In a statement provided to Travel + Leisure, Royal Caribbean said: "Out of an abundance of caution, we have paused our upcoming visits through April 2026. We are communicating with our guests directly."
