Dear Saimaa Travel customers,
Visa-free cruises to Vyborg are at the moment cancelled until 31 July, cruise to St.Petersburg are cancelled for the whole cruise season 2020.
The times are exceptional and tourism – the world’s largest service industry – has come to a standstill globally. This has had a major impact on tourism businesses of all sizes.
We will be in contact with the customers who were due to travel during the above-mentioned period and offer them either refund or a credit for a future departure. The border between Finland and Russia is still closed and at the moment we don’t know when it will be re-opened.
Saimaa Travel Oy is a small Finnish, privately owned family company that employs 5 people in winter and approximately 25 people in summer. We hope that we will be able to organize visa-free cruises later this summer. However, the health and safety of our customers is a priority for us, and we closely follow the instructions of the Finnish authorities and the government. We will also take into account the situation in Russia and their travel regulations.
We would like to thank all our customers for their understanding and trust in this exceptional situation. We hope that at some point we will see you on our visa-free cruises!
(Edited 25.5. cancellation until 19.7./ edited 12.6. cancellation until 31.7.)
