What’s New For 2018

So as we head into 2018 I thought I’d bring you up to date on who’s launching what and when. As there are a quite a few new ships here are the first few…

If you’re looking for a big ship with lots of facilities for you and the children. Everything from waterparks to zip-lines, with an amazing choice of dining options, or you’re wanting something smaller sophisticated and luxurious with an intimate feel this year’s new ships will tick all the boxes.

Royal Caribbean’s new arrival Symphony of the seas is setting sail on 31st March ahead of her planned schedule. If you like a big ship this is the one for you she’s 230,000 tonnes hold over 5500 passengers. She will sail from Barcelona before heading across the pond to sail from Fort Lauderdale to the Caribbean. She will feature all the usual facilities you would find on an Oasis Class ship. Like her sister Harmony, she will have a trio of multi-deck watersides. She will also feature two FlowRider surf simulators, mini golf and a 9 deck high zip line not for the faint-hearted. I’m sure she will be a big hit just like her sister ships…

Carnival Horizon will sail her maiden voyage on the 2nd of April. She will sail out of Barcelona, Miami and New York. Doing four sailings from Barcelona before heading west to New York. She’s will be the biggest ship in carnivals fleet at 133,500 tonnes. She’ll feature an IMAX theatre and a Dr Seuss themed water park. Have you sailed on Carnival what do you think of their party atmosphere?

Next to launch will be Norwegian Bliss at the end of April its the fifth Norwegian ship to launch in six years. She will feature the award-winning Jersey Boys a show I’ve seen a few times and definitely worth watching. She will carry 4000 passengers and will be 167,800 tonnes. She will spend her summer’s sailing out of Seattle and the winter season out of Miami. Offering Premium All-Inclusive she will be a good option to look at.

Heres what Norwegian Bliss will have to offer…

Seaborne will launch Ovation early May. Expected to be the most luxurious cruise ship to launch this year holding only 600 passengers and only 40,450 tonnes. She will be elegant and contemporary and if big ships aren’t your thing look no further.

Watch out for next time to see what Msc and Celebrity will be launching.
