Doha Port Closure, Middle East Cruises Itinerary Change?

[Cruise Wonderland]

As reading from the Azamara board, Doha will close its port for all other cruise ships during the World Cup period, since its terminal will be reserved for the 3 MSC ships (World Europa, Poesia, Opera) as floating hotels.

 

Also, it seems that the port will keep closing for more days even after the World Cup, for unknown reasons. From the below news posted on Costa board, Costa Toscana will cancel the call to Doha for all the voyages in December and January (and possibly in February?).

 

Does anybody receive any updates from MSC? Will MSC World Europa's itinerary also be affected?

No, the WE will go back to work on Dec 20. Doha and Dammam are on the itinerary.
