Creator's Key Takeaways

st petersburg in russia is the primary reason that i think most people go on a baltic sea cruise and of course st petersburg is closed now probably for the foreseeable future

i was in st petersburg in 2019 and it it was incredible i mean it's an incredibly interesting place

without saint petersburg you know it drops from kind of the the top of the list maybe to some place in the middle unfortunately

i've had questions um i think it has kind of put a little bit of a damper on demand for this year

Cruise lines have been forced to make major changes because of the conflict in Ukraine, but according to one travel advisor, there is still a major demand for that region's sailings. Ted Blank, owner of Ted Blank Luxury Travel & Adventure, spoke to TMR last week about the changes to Baltic Sea itineraries, and how that is impacting his clients' plans.
