“The Embassy of the Russian Federation in the USA is aware of the situation with Russian citizens who are members of the crews of Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises. Currently, ships are located off the coast of the Bahamas and enter American territorial waters mainly to replenish water supplies and provisions, ”said Sergey Trepelkov, embassy adviser and ambassador in response to an RT request.
According to him, the management of the companies does not provide information on the Russians.
“Unfortunately, the management of companies does not provide data on our citizens and the procedure for their evacuation. According to reports, these cruise lines are working on the issue of transporting employees of their ships, including Russians, through Europe, ”the diplomat said.
He emphasized that the diplomatic mission keeps the issue under constant review and is in close contact with the competent authorities of the United States.
