flag The Port of Newcastle canceled the Viking Orion’s visit due to safety concerns from the upcoming "People’s Blockade" protest, despite protest group denials.

flag The Port of Newcastle has canceled the Viking Orion’s November 24 visit, following the earlier cancellation of the Viking Venus, due to safety concerns linked to the Rising Tide climate protest, “The People’s Blockade,” scheduled for November 25 to December 2. flag Rising Tide denies plans to block cruise ships, calls the cancellations unjustified, and says they harm local tourism, while the port cites past incidents—like protesters painting “TAX ME” on a docked bulk carrier and re-entering shipping channels after protest periods—as eroding trust and violating maritime laws. flag Despite assurances, the port says it cannot guarantee passenger safety.
