💨 Abstract

Thousands of European cruise passengers are stranded in Gulf ports due to Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Passengers on ships like MSC Euribia and Celestyal Journey face uncertainty, fear, and dwindling supplies. Some have experienced drone strikes nearby, causing panic. Cruise lines are working with authorities to disembark guests safely, but commercial flights are also disrupted. The conflict has led to over 1,000 deaths across several countries.
