Situation at Peter Deilmann

[VentureForth]

I have tried to access the Deilmann-Cruises website and continue receiving an error back. Does anyone have any first or 2nd hand knowledge of what's going on over there? I know they've sold off their river cruises, but I'm concerned that the Deutchland that is sailing right now is going to be in jeopardy.

I hope to go out to the pier on Saturday to see the Deutchland in Savannah. Maybe there will be some answers there.

Can someone verify if they successfully launched from Baltimore this week?

Deilmann closed their Alexandria VA office last week. They are no longer in business at that location. If you want to get in touch with them you have to call the German office. Their website for America was down at last we saw. They are supposedly running the Deutchland. Just got back from our 5th and final cruise with them on the Elbe and Danube. The big river boat "Mozart" was sold to the company who owns the Premicon Queen out of Germany. I recommend this company. Their boats are beautiful and only a year old. The Mozart was starting to show its age.
