Russia Set to Subsidize Cruise Line Startup

A new government-backed cruise operation could be launched later this spring in the Russian Far East.

The Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East intends to subsidize the acquisition of multiple cruise vessels for tour operators that will develop cruise tourism in the Russian Far East, which previously had a number of cruise calls to Vladivostok.

According to RBC Primorye, the upcoming Pacific Cruise project aims to attract over 50,000 guests per year to Russia’s Far East region.
