A New Year a New Ship!

So we are almost heading into 2018 and what a year it will be for cruise lines such as Celebrity, Carnival, Holland America, MSC, Norwegian Cruise lines and Royal Caribbean as we will see their new ships enter service.

Bearing in mind we only had 1 new ship in 2017 (MSC Seaside), 2018 is set to be a fantastic year with more growth to the UK market wanting to excel on-board these new ships with more exciting experiences, venue’s and accommodation types.

We will see Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the seas and Carnival Horizon enter service in April 2018 with many bookings already made and with the UK market, it seems that everyone wants a piece of Symphony of the seas and who can blame them with everything it has to offer. The Carnival Horizon is set to sail out from Barcelona on the 2nd of April and is hoping to claw in the UK and Euopean market.

We will then see the Norwegian Bliss enter service also on the 4th of April 2018 for a 12 night transatlantic sailing from Southampton including Ponta Delgarda, Halifax in Canada before arriving into New York. And wow, what a ship she looks like.

Moving on we will then see the brand new MSC Seaview ship enter service in May 2018. She will be the second class ship of the Seaside and will be able to hold a capacity of 5179 guests. So probably 2 of the biggest ships with MSC. I have also found that vivid MSC loyalty customers are booking well in advance so they can get on this ship.

In November 2018 we will then see the Nieuw Statendam join the Holland America fleet where she will depart Barcelona and make her way across the Atlantic to Fort Lauderdale where she will be based offering guest 7 and 14 night Caribbean sailings.

And lastly but not least, we are all going to be blown away by the ship. The celebrity Edge will make her debut on the 16th of December 2018 where she will be based out of Fort Lauderdale offering 7 night Caribbean sailings. She will have the most unique amenities on-board as well as “never been done before” Infinite veranda’s which seem to be selling like hot cakes. So if you are looking to get on this ship, don’t leave it for too long as they are selling fast.
