All cruises of Deutschland, the luxury market vessel operated by Peter Deilmann Reederei in Germany, have been cancelled as the administrator of the operator and the vessel’s owner has not been able to conclude a sale of the vessel, Deilmann said in a statement.
The shore based staff of Peter Deilmann will be laid off or dismissed, while the 22,496 gross ton ship that was built in 1998 will continue to maintain a 50 strong staff on board to secure the vessel.
Both the ship's operator and a separate company that owns it filed for bankruptcy at the start of the year.
