Malch_uk Posted August 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) This was tucked away at the bottom of the recent email about choosing the dining theme on Discovery: We're pleased to announce that in summer 2018 and 2019 we'll be welcoming two ships to the Thomson Cruises fleet. Stay up-to-date on our Facebook page. Can someone who is on F/B post the details on here please. Thanks, Malc.

mtt Posted August 11, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 11, 2015 This news was posted on facebook a good while ago, they replace spirit and majesty who leave in 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeCountyMan Posted August 12, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 12, 2015 So these "new" ships are simply replacements - two in, two out ? Therefore the fleet is not being expanded and there will be little or no scope for new itineraries. I had hoped Thomsons would consider returning to UK ports for cruises to Northern Europe etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okavango Posted August 12, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 12, 2015 This news was posted on facebook a good while ago, they replace spirit and majesty who leave in 2017 note that one joins 2018 and the other in 2019, could be a bit of shuffling yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucie14 Posted August 18, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I was in a Thomson shop yesterday and was chatting about the Majesty. When I asked if she would be leaving in 2017 the answer was she is up for renewal then but there may be a chance she will kept as she is quite popular so who knows.

davecttr Posted August 18, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 18, 2015 The Majesty is my favourite Thomson ship :D The single cabins on Celebration/Spirit are awful and although Dream has decent cabins if you book the right one i don't like the layout of the ship.

The majesty is the least favourite from the thomson reviews, the spirit had gone to no 4 but has gone up again, the dream is currently no1 for reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePauls Posted August 19, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Intereting news about the new ships. It is a shame they're not expanding the fleet as more variety of cruise areas would be nice. I too echo WeeCountryMan's comment earlier about UK based ships. I really wish Thomson would offer no-fly options. We've been on a good number of Thomson cruises now and the airport/flight 'experience' at the start and end of the holiday is always such a let down compared to the actual on-board experience. It doesn't help so many itineries are now based out of Marmaris, that bus transfer from Dalaman is a killer! Our next holiday will have to be with a different cruise line I fear...

geomagot Posted August 19, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 19, 2015 imo the thoms flight/transfer experience is pretty slick/seamless not exectly painless but thoms do it well imo.... compared to the easy jet/costa/other lines dumped at the airport 10 hours before your flight experience not everyone can gettaway to the sunshine of the med during summer (or afford the hiked summer prices) where would an ex uk cruise ship go in the winter? other than freezing cold round britain/europe, 5 days at sea caribbean/east coast america trans atlantics and back or southampton - brugges weekend booze cruises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISIN LINDA Posted August 19, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 19, 2015 where would an ex uk cruise ship go in the winter? other than freezing cold round britain/europe, 5 days at sea caribbean/east coast america trans atlantics and back or southampton - brugges weekend booze cruises P&O and Fred seem to manage OK Geo ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geomagot Posted August 19, 2015 #16 Share Posted August 19, 2015 P&O and Fred seem to manage OK Geo ;) but its freezin cold tho linda (surely they have to scrape the ice of the pools each morning).... tbh canaries aren't warm enough for me in winter either:( ... for me its gotta be somewhere hot & sunny in winter... that means long haul.... necessary evil unfortunately (thoms dreamliner's not too bad... better than the virgin old crate):p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
