Happy Holiday

Greetings Cruisers

I would just like to wish you a very happy holiday and an amazing 2018, thanks for all your bookings I really do appreciate every single one.

I hope everyone that took a cruise over the last year are now seriously addicted and have already planned their next cruise for 2018, I know many of my customers have already booked, some as far away as 2019 !

It has been an amazing year and things look to be getting even better for 2018, would you believe that most family cruises over the summer for 2018 are already sold out. So if you are looking to plan a summer 2019 cruise with the family start getting organised as soon as possible.

Expect to hear about many more new ship builds and stunning new itinerary’s

New MSC ships 2017-2026

Each of the new ships features weight of 167,600 GT. As GT they are slightly smaller than the Quantum ships (167,800 GT), but with bigger passenger capacity – 4500 vs 4180.

In the end of March 2015 was announced, that the Carnival Corporation orders a total of 9 new vessels to be built by two different building companies. Fincantieri SpA (Italy) will construct 5 new ships at the company’s yards in Monfalcone and Marghera. Meyer Werft BmbH will construct the other 4 new Carnival ships at the company’s yards in Germany (Papenburg) and Finland (Turku).

One of the new vessels will be of a new class, with gross tonnage of 175,000.

Each ship will be designed accordingly to the brand line it will serve – Costa, Princess, Holland America and Carnival Cruise Lines.
