I saw a post over on CruiseCritic about the Navigator doing a Cruise from Athens to Dubai around Africa and back to Ft Lauderdale. I see just a blank on the Navigator's calendar on the RSSC web site. Has anyone received information about this cruise?

Jan

The pricing is not out yet but the ship is doing this itinerary. A few things could change this was preliminary but it gives you the overview of the cruise. Did not post over that well but too much to type out. I am going to do the Cape Town to Rio portion and I think the single supplement will be 20% so I bet that will be a well priced segment.

Thanks, Ngaire. This looks really interesting and we love the Navigator.

Jan

Oh dear - 20% ss. Love those below 30-40%. And interesting itinerary. Actually the entire itinerary looks great. This is a definite consider!

Betty, I am with you. The 20% makes it much more appealing. I will keep my eyes open too.
Lynn

I need to go buy a lottery ticket! :D

Pricing now posted on the RSSC website:

http://www.rssc.com/ships/calendar.jsp?ship=NAV

wes

Boy you are fast Wes, I just got an email this morning they hit the system. Not had much chance to look it all over but I do note that the segment from Cape Town - Rio - FLL has bonus society savings. Will study all this and work at getting it on my web.

Grand Asia Pacific is out also.

I went through it this morning and priced what I wanted to do and it looked quite reasonable, however when I looked at it again this afternoon, all the itineraries from Athens to FLL were removed. Are they going to rais the initial prices?
Jim

Ngaire, can't find Grand Asia Pacific online. I am hoping that the late October segment goes to Burma like this year.

In fact, the Navigator pricing which I could see last night is no longer on website, either.

Nothing was supposed to be on the web yet. They pulled the pricing today it is not ready yet to be booked. I do not beleive it is to change pricing I think that is very set it is just getting all the bugs out of the system prior to booking. Once on line people want to book. It should not be too long now before it is all out and open for booking.

The whole cruise is available to book now - Regent is contacting TA's who have waitlisted.
Jim

Just looked - couldn't find anything for the Navigator in Oct or Nov

Now you see it, now you don't! :)

I should of did a screen capture when it WAS posted on the site!!

It's there - I already have my booking confirmation.
Jim

It is on my web now. Been a crazy day so I hope I made no errors but the segments are there. The links do not work yet to the itinerary etc as they link to Regent and the information is not on their web yet. Open for booking. Made quite a few today from a waitlist and also from new bookings.

Lynn and I are booked from Mumbai-Cape Town in 727. Hip surgery happens Monday. Should be back dancing by summer.

Very best wishes to you, Doug, for a successful surgery and a quick recovery! I'm sure you will be dancing in no time!

This stuff must drive you crazy, Ngaire! I have no idea how Jim found it. I can only find your itinerary at top of this post, and pricing on your website. Like you said, no itinerary on Regent since link does not work, and even if you go directly to Regent's website I don't see it.

Ngaire, Boy, is this tempting. But I see you have the single supplement as the normal 40% instead of 20%. I assume that was just a dream.
