Carnival Corporation is facing a boycott from LGBT travellers after it stopped doing gay weddings on board some of its ships.
The cruise giant, which owns P&O and Cunard, has been forced to stop same-sex unions on at least nine of its ships because they are registered in Bermuda where gay weddings are no longer allowed following a change of government last month.
A P&O Cruises spokesman said: "Carnival Corporation believes that same sex marriage should be legalised in Bermuda and therefore we are opposed to the new law. We are currently working with local interest groups in Bermuda and elsewhere to explore options in relation to this."
Some LGBT travel agencies have called for a boycott of Carnival cruises because it has not moved the registration of its ships to another jurisdiction.
The UK company chooses to register some ships in Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory, because it has the same safety standards and because it gives them the opportunity to host weddings on board. No weddings are allowed on ships registered in the UK, such as Britannia.
Bermuda had legalised gay weddings in May last year, but the law was repealed by a new government.
