Russians are hesitant about cruises to Crimea
The russian cruise liner “Prince Vladimir” may cancel the route to the occupied Crimea.
Russians have doubts about cruises to the occupied Crimea. So, on May 3, the russian operator “Black Sea Cruises” announced the beginning of the cruise season of the liner “Prince Vladimir” in June. However, the very next day, information began to spread in rosZMI that trips to the occupied territories would be canceled this year.
Instead, information appeared that the ship will now ply between russian Sochi and Sukhum in the unrecognized Republic of Abkhazia. The company added that “decisions regarding the remaining flights will be made later.”
In russia, they are gradually realizing that foreign lands can become very dangerous for them. In particular, panic among vacationers in the occupied territories intensified after the strikes on oil depots of the occupiers.
Earlier, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov, announced the liberation of Crimea by “unexpected” methods for the russians. USM wrote that the occupiers are already preparing escape routs from Crimea.
Reference: “Prince Vladimir” is a 9-deck cruise liner with a length of 142.1 meters and a width of 21.9 meters. The ship can accommodate 940 people. This is the only russian liner that sailed through the Black Sea. The home port of “Prince Vladimir” is Sochi.
