Ongoing seismic activity in the Cyclades region of Greece has forced adjustments to cruise ship itineraries, with the Viking Star diverting from Santorini to Chania, Crete. The seismic events and resulting landslide protection measures are raising concerns about the impact on Santorini’s tourism industry.
The Viking Star, originally scheduled to call at Santorini on February 10th, 2025, has altered its course to Chania due to the ongoing seismic activity. The closure of several ports in Santorini due to landslide risks further complicates cruise ship operations.
The tourism industry is concerned about the potential impact on the Easter season, a crucial period for the island. If the seismic activity continues, Santorini may lose its Easter tourism, with further implications for domestic travel during other holidays.
