Tradewind Voyages, the UK based operator of the sail powered cruise ship Golden Horizon, said that the ship’s planned season of cruises in the Caribbean this winter would be cancelled.

 “We regrets (sic.) to inform guests that the inaugural Caribbean season planned for winter 2021 will no longer take place. With concerns regarding the ability to deliver an exceptional guest experience, that have been heavily impacted by continuing external factors, the difficult decision has been made to cancel the 17 planned voyages between December and April. Guest concerns about accessibility to certain islands and resistance to travelling in bubbles which is a key part of the brand experience has brought the company to this conclusion,” the company said in a statement.

The ship is scheduled to cruise in the Mediterranean in the spring of next year.
