"Victoria Isabella"
By the name of the cruise, do you mean the name of the tour, or do you mean the name of the ship itself?
Either way, you can't only blame it only on the US business; if enough local customers were turned off by the name enough to react by boycotting the service, the business (whose objective is to make a profit) will change the name. If anything, the business choosing such a name suggests that it is profitable, which says something about what the customers think about such a name. Recall back here:
