Will PayneViking has cancelled all 2022 departures of its Russian river cruise itineraries and ceased all operations in the country for the remainder of the year.

"We remain hopeful for a quick resolution to the current conflict. Our team is actively monitoring the situation and will keep our guests up to date as necessary."
