What Makes a Cruise Ship Truly Safe? Factors to Consider Before You Book

10. Anti-Piracy Measures

While rare, piracy remains a concern in certain maritime regions. Cruise lines operating in these areas implement anti-piracy measures to protect passengers and crew. These measures may include route adjustments, increased security personnel, and coordination with naval authorities. Ships may also be equipped with non-lethal deterrents to prevent unauthorized boarding. Understanding the ship's anti-piracy strategy can provide additional reassurance, especially if your itinerary includes regions with a history of piracy.
