HAMBURG — Sea Cloud Cruises has cancelled this year’s St. Petersburg calls of its new sailing vessel the Sea Cloud Spirit.

The Hamburg-based shipping company said it made the decision based on the current developments in the *******. St. Petersburg had originally been on the itinerary four times for the Baltic Sea premiere of the three-master full-rigged ship.

Sea Cloud Cruises says it will now develop a new itinerary for the voyages in June and July 2022, adding that passengers already booked on these itineraries have received a heads up.

Sea Cloud operates a fleet of three masted, full-rigged luxury tall ships; the 64-passenger Sea Cloud, the 94-passenger Sea Cloud II and the recent new-build 136-passenger Sea Cloud Spirit. Sea Cloud Cruises is set to be acquired by The Yacht Portfolio, the company behind The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, as reported last month.
