Anyone Know About the Summer 2022 NE Passage Voyages?

[GGrace]

I've made a few attempts and (lost a few deposits) to travel across the top of Russia: the Arctic NE Passage from Norway to Alaska on the Endurance. Looks like the Endurance is off Greenland now, while I believe it was originally scheduled to be heading from Norway into the Barents Sea around now. Anyone know how Lindblad has responded to Russia's invasion of Ukraine?

 

I've still got a booking open for that voyage in 2023. Not sure it's worth it to just to go to Greenland (although a NW Passage across the top of Canada might be interesting.) Getting used to losing deposits. Covid has me saving many more thousands in not traveling anyway, so whatever: when I finally go someplace it'll be probably be last minute, but luxury style!

Lindblad has taken Russia off any itineraries for this year at least.  They might be playing it by ear for trips past this year.  I'm not seeing any trips going to Russia on their website...

I was booked on an August Russian Far East and Wrangell Island tour in 2019, 2020 and 2021. 2019 and 2020 cancelled due to Covid. When they cancelled this last time (due to Ukraine), the Resolution was shifted to a Ring of Fire Alaska/Japan itinerary. I was told there would be no tours going to Russia for the foreseeable future. I wasn't interested in the new itinerary and requested a refund, which I did receive.
