Peter Deilmann Cruises will withdraw from the river
division of the German-based company declared insolvent. The
decision will impact “hundreds” of group and charter bookings.
A statement from Peter Deilmann said that its “river
ship division has been moved into insolvency which is the German for
corporate reorganization”.
“The 2010 river cruise program has been cancelled
and charter and group operators involved have been advised of this
situation,” the company said. The 2009 season will go ahead as
planned.
The move does not affect voyages of its cruise
ship ms Deutschland, which is separately owned and operated.
The river cruising vessels have independent owners
and it remained to be seen what decision they will make over future
bookings.
The operation has been losing money in a tough
market which the cruise company could no longer sustain. |
