However, NCL confirmed to Travel Gossip today that all Getaway’s Baltic cruises right up to 27 November have been axed.

All guests and travel partners impacted will be contacted directly and receive an automatic full refund returned to the original form of payment as well as a bonus Future Cruise Certificate valid for a future cruise.

“We appreciate the continued understanding of our loyal guests and travel partners during this trying time. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and focus on making the right decision.”
