A P&O Cruises spokesperson said: “In light of the current situation with Russia and Ukraine we will be amending itineraries on Baltic cruises.

“Our top priority is compliance, environmental protection and the health, safety and well-being of our guests, crew members, shoreside employees and the people in the places we touch and we will advise guests of the changes as soon as possible.”

Sister brand Cunard echoed the P&O Cruises statement.
