Just a little more detail about the letter we got here onboard the Voyager. The Mariner will still be doing an Atlantic crossing, but it will be earlier -- the entire 41 day crossing will start in Venice on Sept. 23, but you can also board in Rome or Lisbon for a shorter cruise. No details on the itinerary and the cruise consultant says he won't have details for another week or so. From Miami the Mariner will go through the canal to LA on Nov. 3 and then on to the South Pacific (Tahiti). She will sail in the South Pacific for a while and then on to Auckland -- no details beyond that.
The Voyager will leave Copenhagen on 9/18 and stay with the current schedule ...... until Istanbul on October 31. She will then go to Dubai basically doing the reverse of the schedule we've been on (Israel, Egypt, Oman, UAE) to Mumbai then down the coast of India over to the Maldives, Seychelles, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar and Mozambique ending up in South Africa (Richard's Bay, Durban and Capetown). Again, no details beyond that. There's no information about what they'll do with current bookings in Fall, 2014, but I'll try to find out. I'm sure Ngaire will get the same letter on the Navigator and maybe she'll have more details.
