She says while sailing cancellations might be an inconvenience for customers it is vital to suspend sailings for the crews and customers’ safety.
“Our customers and our crew have value and unfortunately, we just can’t sail in these weather conditions,” she says.
All reservations made for the cancelled trips will be refunded.
