Cruises are a great way to relax, spend your holidays and travel. However, are they all safe as advertised? We have compiled the top 10 most dangerous cruises in this article. We do not recommend that you get on them.
10. Cruises to El Salvador
In fact, the country is one of only a few places in the world that has a critical crime alert because it has the highest murder rate per person in the world. According to reports, it had 69 murders per 100,000 inhabitants in 2012.
9. Cruises to St. Lucia
69 guests were robbed on two ship excursions on one day. Worse, neither the cruise companies nor local tourism officials issued any warnings about previous crimes against visitors in the area.
8. Cruises to Antigua
This nation, like other Caribbean islands, is like paradise. However, it has also experienced several cruise catastrophes. A young lady was killed on a cruise for her sister’s wedding, forcing the island to become a tourist destination.
7. Cruises to the United States, Virgin Islands
There are just too many drugs, firearms, robberies, and murders in this area to recommend it for a family trip. Cruise guests are cautioned about the risks onshore, particularly at St. Thomas.
6. Cruises to Mexico
Over the years, this country has seen some of the worst crimes. Even though drugs and executions do not occur in tourist locations, the cruise sites here continue to suffer from these acts’ negative image.
5. Cruises to St. Kitts and Nevis
This is another beautiful but destitute island where cruise passengers have been robbed in large numbers. The financial discrepancy between residents and tourists here frequently leads to crimes.
4. Cruises to Guatemala
Tourist ambush and armed robbery are widespread in this area. Thus renting a car and driving to distant locations is not recommended. This is why many people believe the nation is unsafe for cruise travelers.
3. Cruises to Venezuela
The country is among the highest murder rates in the world, and crime has gradually increased in recent years. As a result, you should rethink making it your cruise destination.
2. Cruises to Honduras

1. Cruises to the Bahamas
Crime has increased in this nation, particularly in Nassau, which has received more crime complaints than all other Caribbean ports combined. Its port is unquestionably a risky area to transport your family.
