New Ship(s)

[foodsvcmgr]

If Celestyal’s investors are serious about upgrading their fleet, AIDAaura will be available this Fall.

Similar size to Olympia and 20 years newer.

Seems like a no brainer, but of course so did Costa NeoRomantica and we all know how that ended, just not exactly why.

Just heard it through the grapevine, they might be buying two newer old ships. Better luck this time around than the last.

Hello all! Do we have any news on this?

As I previously stated, this is the ship size and amenity wise that makes the most sense for Celestyal to grow or upgrade their fleet.

I wish them the best with this acquisition and will be interested to try the product if they deploy her on Three Continents itineraries.

Much probably the new Journey will replace Crystal already from this season (second part of summer)

We are doing a 14 day cruise embarking on March 24th on the Journey (former HAL Ryndam). Really looking forward to it, as the Ryndam was our first cruise (Alaska) back in 1998.

We are doing the 14 days Med Cruise October 2024.  We are excited as we had to cancel the last one during pandemic.

 

We have never saild HAL so I am interested in really checking out the ship!!

I sailed on the Ryndam in her first 6 months out and a time or two after that. I am sailing on her this fall and can't wait!
