MSC Cruises has suspended all calls to St Petersburg, Russia due to recent developments in the region and related security concerns.
The Company said the health and safety of its passengers and crew is a top priority.
Four MSC Cruises’ ships with Baltic Sea sailings had St Petersburg in their summer itineraries: MSC Preziosa, MSC Grandiosa, MSC Poesia and MSC Virtuosa.
These ships will suspend their calls to the Russian city immediately.
The cruise line said in a statement that it is in touch with alternative ports – such as Stockholm, Helsinki and Tallinn – to confirm calls for the four vessels.
The Company will communicate the exact details for each individual sailing as soon as possible to travel agents and any customers affected by the new arrangements.
MSC Cruises will update its website to reflect the confirmed details of the new itineraries to provide maximum clarity for existing guests as well as for anyone looking to book future holidays in the Baltic Sea.
Currently, no MSC Cruises ships will call at St Petersburg.
