In a change of events, Costa Fortuna seems to remain in the fleet of Costa (at least for this year).

It has recently been registered in some greek ports during this summer indicating a season in Eastern Med.

They are gonna be big changes in Northern Europe from 2026 and onwards.

The strict restrictions on emissions will play a key role in to which ships will be used up there and how many it will be.

We are booked on the Jewel Arctic Circle cruise, Aug 10-22, 2024.  Something’s wrong somewhere!

It's easy for them to send the usual email:

We regret to inform you that due to a ship redeployment, your voyage xxx is cancelled. And then they offer the refund or alternatives...

Also not yet mentioned:

Limassol/Haifa cruises in 2024 seem to have been omitted.

But actually according to Limassol cruise schedule Jewel of the seas will do these cruises but they start in August in contrast of May in 2023 with Rhapsody ots.

Summer/Fall 2024

17/08/2024 Jewel of the seas Limassol from Santorini to Rhodes

24/08/2024 Jewel of the seas Limassol from Santorini to Rhodes

31/08/2024 Jewel of the seas Limassol from Santorini to Rhodes

All 2024 summer deployment is now completed, apart from Spectrum & Utopia.

24/25 winter deployment is almost completed, apart from Anthem, Ovation, Quantum, Spectrum & Utopia.

Questions about European Deployment for Carnival Cruise Line: Are you planning on adding more Voyages in Europe region? Port of calls are mostly the same every year, especially in Eastern Med cruises, are you planning adding more in the future? Why 2024 European itineraries are delayed so much compared to previous seasons and to other cruise lines?

No news yet.

Does anyone have heard anything?

Does anyone have got any news about Ritz Carlton's Ilma and her itineraries?

They are supposed to come out today.

Mykonos Magic (ex-Costa Magica) left some hours ago Brindisi and it is heading to Astakos (Platygiali) port with the help of a tugboat.

According to various reports Brilliance ots will do 7 night cruises from New Orleans, Louisiana in winter 24/25.

Ovation and Quantum most probably they are gonna end up again in Australia.

Do you think they can send Anthem there too? Where Anthem should go since Odyssey will take its place in Cape Liberty?

For summer 2025 the deployment based on port registries looks like this:

Mediterranean:

Allura

Nautica

Northern Europe:

Vista

Marina

Sirena

USA:

Insignia

Regatta

Alaska:

Riviera

You may not have this information as it's quite specific but can you see where the ship will be from 29th - 31th October?

 

I'd appreciate the information so I can plan if this cruise might be possible for me.

If you follow the date I have given you 18 October 2024 and you start counting from Sydney which is the homeport you can easily figure it out.

Anyways 29/10 Benoa, 30-31/10 2 Days At Sea.

Understood. Still a bit puzzled about an overnight scheduled for Willis Island. Is that correct? I suppose there's a lot to see in the area and they could anchor off Willis Island for the night.

Don't ask me lol, ask them! 😛

There are some interesting finds on those QE itineraries, @SummmerInKefalonia.

 

Cunard continues to lengthen QE's Alaska season. Here's what I've calculated for the length of each of QE's Alaska seasons so far:

2019: 46 days from May 15 (Kodiak) to June 30 (Vancovuer)

2022: 46 days from June 4 (Vancouver) to July 21 (Vancouver)

2023: 75 days from June 3 (Seward) to 17 August (Vancouver)

2024: 108 days from June 3 (Kodiak) to September 19 (Vancouver)

 

I see some maiden calls on these itineraries, not just for QE but for Cunard as a whole as far as I can tell:

Misty Fjords, Alaska

Broome, Western Australia

Geraldton, Western Australia

Dusky Sound, Fiordland, New Zealand

Great Oyster Bay & Freycinet Peninsula, Tasmania

 

I'm not sure what's up with the overnight call to Willis Island, Queensland scheduled for November 23-24, 2024. That's just listed as a cruise-by call for January 29, 2024 on the previously published itineraries.

Misty Fjords, Alaska

Dusky Sound, Fiordland, New Zealand

Great Oyster Bay & Freycinet Peninsula

Willis Island:

Are scenic cruising days at sea, not actual port calls.

Hello,

This may be hard to find, but does anyone has a pdf file of 2009, 2010 & 2011 ebrochures?

Or maybe even make a pdf from a print brochure?

Online they don't exist anymore.

That would be a great help for collection purposes. Thank you!

Do you have QV's 4 January 2025 5-night itinerary from Hamburg to Southampton doing an overnight in Amsterdam (as in these late 2024 itineraries)? The QV itinerary I found for 4 January 2025 lists 6 Jan 2025 as "Amsterdam" and then lists 7 Jan 2025 as "Amsterdam (tours from Rotterdam)". That's why I listed 7 Jan 2025 as "Rotterdam" for QV on the 2025 thread but I have my doubts about that.

Lol we use the same site (as it says the same), play a bit with the number on the links and you will find the other itineraries too that I am seeing....

Who knows what is happening....

Just as an aside, it doesn't look like Cunard is planning a "3 Queens" meeting in Southampton in January 2025 as they had been planning for QA, QV and QM2 in January 2024 before Queen Anne's deployment was delayed.

 

I'm seeing the two ships that are doing 2025 world voyages (QA and QV) together in Southampton for the start of their world voyages on January 9th, but as we know QM2 will be in Southampton on January 11th. Does that agree with what you are seeing @SummmerInKefalonia?

Yep.

Did NCL give a reason for this change? 

 

We're going on RCI in October to Corfu and hoping this isn't something related to the port. 

Probably fuel consumption since if you see it takes a lot of time to go up there from Mykonos. Oceania also chopped port stay times a couple of days ago.
