A luxury cruise ship carrying 206 people remained stuck in a remote Greenland location on Wednesday after running aground earlier this week, the vessel's operator and rescue services said. The Danish military's Joint Arctic Command (JAC) said Tuesday's tide had failed to lift the 104-metre (341-foot) Ocean Explorer enough to free it. "The tide that came in during the day, local time, did not provide the desired help to sail on," the JAC said in a statement.

Thousands of tourists spill onto a boardwalk in Alaska’s capital city every day from cruise ships towering over downtown. Vendors hawk shoreside trips and rows of buses stand ready to whisk visitors away, with many headed for the area’s crown jewel: the Mendenhall Glacier. A craggy expanse of gray, white and blue, the glacier gets swarmed by sightseeing helicopters and attracts visitors by kayak, canoe and foot. So many come to see the glacier and Juneau’s other wonders that the city’s immediate concern is how to manage them all as a record number are expected this year. Some residents flee to quieter places during the summer, and a deal between the city and cruise industry will limit how many ships arrive next year. But climate change is melting the Mendenhall Glacier. It is re...

Cruise vacations in the past year have emerged as a popular option among consumers in search of cheaper ways to travel, but U.S. cruise companies are signaling that itineraries will get costlier in the coming months. After discounting aggressively following years of COVID-era testing requirements and restrictions, cruise operators such as Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL.N) and Carnival Corp (CCL.N) are looking to raise prices as occupancy levels approach pre-pandemic levels. Cruise vacations before the onset of the pandemic were on average 15% to 20% cheaper than a land-based vacation, Truist hotel and cruise analyst Patrick Scholes said. That gap has widened to 50%, he added. "(We are) working hard to close the outrageous and unwarranted 25% to 50% value gap to land-based offer...

Amsterdam took a first step toward banning large cruise liners under broader plans to reduce mass tourism and pollution, officials said on Friday.
