First cruise ship transits Strait of Hormuz since war began A cruise liner has sailed through the Strait of Hormuz, becoming the first passenger vessel to make the crossing since the war began, ship tracking site MarineTraffic said. The Malta-flagged Celestyal Discovery had been docked in Dubai for nearly 47 days after arriving in early March and was reported to be sailing without passengers.
MarineTraffic said the ship crossed the strait on Friday and is heading towards Muscat, with an estimated arrival later in the day.
