Rare twototravel Posted June 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Does anyone know why Gate 1 will not be using the Monarch Empress river cruise ship in 2024? Based on their posted cruises for 2024, the last date for this ship is a cruise departing 16 Dec 2023 out of Frankfurt with no departures in 2024. This has been their premier ship for several years. All I could find were sailings for the Baroness and the Queen. I'm not looking to book, but curious. We are on the Empress for B2B cruises ending on the 16th.

SnowshoeCat Posted June 22, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I don't know, but I wonder if it has something to do with Vantage's problems? This is total speculation, of course. I know that Gate 1 sometimes uses at least one of Vantage's ships. Maybe they had to reshuffle. Again, just a guess. I wouldn't want to start any rumors 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ldtr Posted June 23, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) My understanding is that Gate1 owns the Monarch Empress. They do lease some of their other boats. Have you tried asking Gate1? Edited June 23, 2023 by ldtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bessinfl Posted October 14, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2023 This reply is very late, but we're booked on the Empress for May 2024. So clearly it is scheduled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twototravel Posted January 14 Author #6 Share Posted January 14 Thank you everyone for your replies. I guess when I looked it was downtime for rivercruises. Enjoy the Empress...it's a great ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
