THE 10 Aug Kimberley departure of the beleaguered Island Escape appears to have been cancelled, according to messages from passengers on Island Escape Cruises’ Facebook page.
There has been no update from new CEO Erik Helseth, who last month told CW “we are aiming to resume normal operation from 10 Aug” (CW 22 Jul) but has not responded to further queries.
It is the fourth Island Escape voyage in a row to be called off, with travel agents and clients furious at a lack of communication from the line.
