COVID 19 affects the future running of Statsraad Lehmkuhl very heavily. The situation ahead is uncertain and unclear - especially for the business we represent with sailing voyages and fjord cruises where people are in close proximity most of the time.
We hereby regrettably to announce that the Statsraad Lehmkuhl will cancel all voyages and fjord cruises until 26th august, 2020. We are incredibly sorry for this, but we hope for your understanding. All trainees and other clients who should have joined us in this period will in short time be contacted by our staff.
In the coming months we will lay off most of the crew on the ship and reduce staff in the office. Rather than doing nothing, we plan to put the ship in dry dock where necessary maintenance work will be done now, instead of the original plans of having it done this autumn – in this way also contribute to the maintenance of employment both for us, and for our suppliers.
There will be challenging times ahead, but we are certain and motivated to succeed whatever the future holds.
If you are a true friend of the ship, we hereby invite you to become a member of the friendship foundation for Statsraad Lehmkuhl – we need friends more than ever in these challenging times.
JOIN THE FRIENDSHIP FOUNDATION
We wish you good health and hope to see you on board when the situation has improved.
On behalf of the foundation of Statsraad Lehmkuhl
Haakon Vatle
General manager
Ps: Due to reduced capacity in the office we hope for understanding that response to your request may take a little longer.
