In a heartbreaking turn of events, Life at Sea Cruises abruptly canceled a three-year global luxury cruise, leaving passengers, including Keri Witman, in disbelief. Witman, head of marketing agency Clever Lucy, had meticulously organized her life, selling her home and signing a short-term lease for the $38,500 room. The cruise faced delays in its departure date and complications securing the AIDAaura ship. The cruise company announced refunds in monthly installments from December 1 until February 2024, but passengers remain stranded.
