Hamburg Sud’s 146-year tradition of carrying passengers on its cargoships is ending abruptly now the German company has become part of Danish group AP Moller-Maersk.
According to travel agents, the edict to end hosting 12 guests on each ship was handed down from Copenhagen to align Hamburg Sud with Maersk Line’s internal policy.
Bookings for 2018 will be honoured but no further reservations will be accepted.
