The Russian city of St. Petersburg will be replaced by alternative ports in Finland and Estonia this summer, as revealed by Viking and Atlas Ocean Voyages.

Atlas President Alberto Aliberti said that they have adjusted their voyages due to unrest in Eastern Europe.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises was forced to change the most planned stops in Russia, which included visits to the Solovetsky Islands, Arkhangelsk, Murmansk and St. Petersburg.

Russian and Ukrainian ports would be removed from itineraries in 2022.

All sailings and cruise tours in the Black Sea region have been canceled by Windstar Cruises. The line said it will change its Baltic itineraries to include calls in a non-Russian port. The changes will be communicated to guests and travel advisors.

The itineraries that call in Russia in 2022, which will require modifications, are currently being evaluated.

As a result of the Russian attack, the airspace of the nation was closed to civilian flights and air traffic services were suspended. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency said that airspace within 100 nautical miles of Ukrainian borders could pose safety risks to civilian flights.
