A Hunger strike by Russian cruise passengers, and more radical measurements by Chinese passengers is the unhappy outcome for a group of Russian and Chinese toourists that booked an SH Diana Liner cruise from Capetown, South Africa to the Antartic sea.
Due to an engie failure the cruise line had to cancel the rest of the journey when the cruise made it to Argentina.
According to the itinerary, vacationers were supposed to visit the islands of Elephant, Heroina, and Paulet, as well as other attractions of the white continent, but instead, the cruise ended with technical problems.
Just over 150 miles north of the frozen tundra of Antarctica the tiny mountainous island. Known as Elephant Island, named for the elephant seals that explorers once saw lounging on its shores, the island is one of the most picturesque places on earth. It’s also one of the most desolate.
The passengers have already filed a complaint with the International Maritime Organization and filed lawsuits in the courts of Cyprus and the Russian Federation.
Russian rapper Basta planned to participate in the trip, but at the last moment he canceled.
The situation is escalating and people continue to insist on their rights to get fair compensation for their disrupted trip.
The tourists went on a hunger strike, demanding their money back, because they were disappointed by the company’s refusal to compensate the full cost of the tour.
