Cruise operators are modifying voyages and scrapping some sailings to avoid the Ukraine conflict. Several operators had trips taking in Baltic nations and the Black Sea scheduled this summer but some of these have now been suspended following the Russian invasion.
Saga has already axed a visit to the Crimean port of Odessa during a Black Sea cruise, after the UK Foreign Office advised against visits to the war-ravaged nation.
A spokeswoman for Saga told Travel Weekly : “Guests are in the process of being contacted about the change, and the rest of the cruise remains unaffected. We are now looking at the impact of today’s developments on our Baltic cruises later this year which were due to call in at St Petersburg.
