THE passengers and crew on board Ponant’s troubled L’Austral voyage from Antarctica would like to let the travel industry know they are safe and well as they find themselves trying to find a port that will take them in.
The ship is currently on course to arrive in Rio de Janeiro today, with Cruise Express Australia Director Hardy Schneider, who is on board the vessel, describing the situation as a “waiting game”.
“We have been in isolation to the rest of the world for three weeks now and are totally free of the virus,” he said.
“We know all involved, including DFAT, are working on a safe solution, and Ponant is treating us every day to beautiful meals and all sorts of entertainment”.
