Havila Voyages has cancelled the next cruise of its first ship Havila Capella after an ongoing legal dispute over the vessel’s Russian financing left the ship uninsured.
The line had been granted an application by Norway’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to sail Capella for six months - despite the vessel being financed by Russian-owned company GTLK, which has been hit with EU sanctions.
Havila has pledged to refinance the ship - the only one of its fleet funded by a Russian company - and "break all ties" with the sanctioned firm.
