Passengers were offered a 50% refund on their cruise fare, despite the 30% limit set by law.

Many agreed to these conditions, but some passengers still decided to take the head as a sign of protest.
According to official data, more than 170 people went on the cruise on board the SH Diana. Tour prices range from 872 thousand to 1.4 million rubles.
