Thinking of canceling your Spring River Cruise?

For 2022, we have a Tulip Time river cruise followed by a Seine river cruise, then an ocean cruise in the Baltic in August…  We expect to be on all four of them [the Baltic is the most likely to be cancelled, because of Saint Petersburg – but if it goes, we'll be on it]. 

Curious, what makes you think St. Petersburg may be canceled?   Are you also saying the cruise lines  will cancel a Baltic cruise  because of St. Petersburg is closed or that  you won’t sail because the  port is dropped but other ports/sea days are substituted.

Russia has very bad Covid and their home-grown vaccine doesn't seem very effective so I don't see that changing.  A Baltic cruise with 3 nights in St. Petersburg is vastly different if you take those 3 nights away.  And a British cruise line with 99% British passengers would probably be forced to cancel because of the stricter British Covid rules and/or because of the strict British consumer protection laws [if they make a major itinerary change, they must allow passengers to cancel].

Ok, thanks, very interesting.  I didn’t know the second part about British consumer protection laws related to a major itinerary change.  I do know some laws differ from the US laws, for example.  
 

As far as the overall CoVID situation in Russia, I have the same thoughts. If St.Petersburg is dropped then we will cancel or reschedule for 2023 and enjoy a different type of trip. 
 

Ok  back to Spring cruises…. Ty

Russia is not in a good situation COVID wise. Not that we are great here but Russia is not doing well.

Yea, those are my thoughts as well.  Wondering if there was anything new.

Well, we did make the decision to move our 3/2022 trip to 2023. It was a tough decision but I think it was for the best at this time. We do have a Princess T/A out of the UK scheduled for 11/2022 which hell or high water, we will be on.
