Labadee (Labadie): A Dream Destination in Haiti

Labadee, located on the northern coast of Haiti, is much more than just a stopover for cruise passengers. This little corner of paradise is known for its fine sand beaches, turquoise waters and breathtaking landscapes. Labadee is a protected enclave, managed largely by the Royal Caribbean cruise line.

Labadee is not only a relaxing destination, but also a place rich in activities. Visitors can practice various water sports, explore local craft markets, or venture on the famous zip line. This destination is also steeped in history, offering tourists a glimpse into Haiti’s rich cultural heritage through traditional shows and guided tours.

A Return Awaits with Hope

The announcement of the return of cruises to Labadee is greeted with great optimism, both by stakeholders in the tourism sector and by the local population. The suspension of activities had had a considerable impact on the region’s economy. The resumption of cruises therefore represents a breath of fresh air for the local economy, while giving Haïti a place on the map of Caribbean tourist destinations.

Frantz Duval, in announcing this news on X, underlines the importance of this return for the country. In his message, he stated:

Cruises to Labadee should resume by October 2024, Le Nouvelliste learned from a source close to the company that operates the Labadee wharf. This announced return of tourists will come after months of suspension of activities in Haiti’s only cruise port 🇭🇹.

Perspectives d’Avenir

With the resumption of cruises, Labadee could once again become one of Haiti’s main tourist attractions. The challenge for authorities and site managers will be to ensure the safety of tourists while preserving the authenticity and natural appeal of the destination. Labadee could not only contribute to the revival of the Haitian tourism sector, but also serve as a model for the sustainable development of other tourist sites across the country.

In the meantime, the announcement of this return to normal is already seen as a positive signal for a country in search of stability and economic development. The long-awaited return of tourists to Labadee could well mark the beginning of a new era for tourism in Haiti.

Meet Edison Juste: An Outstanding Singer

Beyond the chaos, in the heart of the desolation, there are voices that resonate. They shatter the silence, depicting the macabre reality of everyday life in a thousand shards, thus defying evil to give meaning to life and make each day a place where hope flows like a stream of honey. Edison Juste’s voice is one of them: it sings of hope, of love, while praising God. It was in Carrefour, 27 years ago, that the young singer’s sun rose within a family of four children. Edison Juste is the youngest. Between the diplomat, the lawyer, and the entrepreneur that he is, singing remains his greatest passion for this young married man. Like many Haitian singers, Edison Juste took his first steps at a very early age in a choir—Yahvé Shama—alongside children his own age. He would later become the lead singer. This was in 2010. Asked about his first real encounter with music, he replied: q~It was in 2013 that I really started singing. It was during a competition organized by Styl Doz at the Évangélique de la Grâce church,~q, says the active member of the group YES (Yon Enstriman Sen), who also expresses his gratitude to singer Joseph Rhousteau, who inspired and coached him for several years. Edison Juste stands out not only for his style, but also for his versatility. His ability to make the notes vibrate with a moving candor seems limitless. Yet, he has his preferences: q~There isn’t a single style that characterizes me. I see myself as a liquid: I take the shape of the container. Even if I remain haunted by Worship, Compass, and Jazz, he confides. Today, the Carrefour native boasts a rich and varied musical repertoire. From 2010 to 2025, he has grown both in maturity and in renown: five competition wins, his first song recorded in 2018, joining the band YES, his participation in the second album, Se pou m beni, a collaboration with Amos César in a musical, and his contribution to the album Anprent by maestro Berwin Sydney. For him, this journey is already a great source of inspiration. Edison Juste never does without the presence of God, whether in the creative process or during his stage performances: "What influences and motivates me the most is always the presence of Elohim, and the audience’s desire to savor and appreciate my work," he says.
