Cypriots Stranded on Cruise Ship in Qatar
March 3, 2026
A group of 29 Cypriots is stranded on a cruise ship in the port of Doha, Qatar, due to military conflicts in the area. They are in contact with the Cypriot embassy, which is monitoring the situation. The possibility of repatriation via a military aircraft is being considered, but it is uncertain if this flight will proceed. Some passengers are elderly and require medication, which the embassy is providing. Despite the circumstances, they are occasionally allowed to disembark for short walks.
