Sailaway487 Posted March 15, 2014 Author #76 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Although I don't think two ships need to be in the Adriatic it seems as if there may be some good itineraries.Celebration will also be able to go to Venice, won't it? It could, but I have a feeling it won't be. The calls in Split would hint that it could be going to/from Venice, but it is due to call in Split at 08:00, and usually, if it has come from Venice, it does so at 10:00. I'm wondering, with the new restrictions in Venice, they've had to reduce the number of sailings on Majesty for it, so as a result have increase the number of Adriatic itineraries to other ports to compensate for this? Just a theory though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailaway487 Posted March 15, 2014 Author #77 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Does seem strange but probably to prevent another sea day. Suspect there is a long distance to cover. Messina - Brindisi - Kotor it is supposed to be. So I suppose, an extra port is better than an extra sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruzseeka Posted March 15, 2014 #80 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Here's the blog post: http://sailawaycruiseblog.wordpress.com/2014/03/15/italy-croatia-montenegro-for-thomson-celebrations-2015-itineraries/ Celebration's 2015 itineraries will include Messina, Brindisi, Split and Kotor. Look's like it will be operating two different Adriatic itineraries too, alongside the one on Majesty. Intetesting- and thank you again sailaway for your insight and the research you do on our behalf. :) Does sound like two Adriatic based itineraries. Not a bad move as I don't think there is much doubt about the popularity of the Adriatic ports - the possible change from Marmaris as a base port throws up some questions though. Will it still figure as a destination on one itinerary along with some Greek Islands? It would seem to be a pity to lose that area. I wondered if they may look at Thessaloniki and Sciathos which they did once include but then changed but that could be an interesting new inclusion especially if built into an overnight in Istanbul. I'd fancy that! But that's very speculative! We went to Brindisi on one Adriatic itinerary. It didn't prove popular so they substituted somewhere else -perhaps Kotor after a couple of visits. That did prove popular! What I would recommend if Brindisi is included would be a trip to Alberobello which was charming with its conical shaped roofs. It will be very interesting to see how Spirit is to be deployed. Do you think all three are sailing around the Adriatic/Aegean?

It does look like all three will be doing Adriatic/Aegean, or perhaps Majesty and Celebration around Adriatic/Aegean and Spirit more Aegean/Black Sea. I don't think that Marmaris will be lost though as a homeport, but probably a bit of a redo of itineraries from here. I would think Spirit will probably take over Celebration's itineraries from Marmaris. Seems to be the most likely, as it is in this area after its cruises from Limassol in April.

Well if both Celebration and Majesty home port in Corfu with departures on the same day of the week it would provide some interesting possibilities in terms of b2b! One week on one ship and one on the other! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Adriatic is a very popular itinerary and I wouldn't mind doing it again with a few different ports of call. Although I loved the Caribbean ports as a winter destination, I still prefer the Adriatic ports overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One week on one ship and one on the other! Now that would be interesting to do! :D I'm wondering though whether Majesty now might be going elsewhere? Reposition to Corfu, then on to somewhere else with Celebration doing Corfu itineraries. Very confused. :confused: :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailaway487 Posted March 15, 2014 Author #93 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) With the itinerary looking like Venice - Trieste - ? - Split, I bet the ? will be the return of Rovinj! I think with Majesty, Rovinj couldn't be used, but I think Celebration could tender there. Would be very interested in this itinerary if that was the case! :) Edited March 15, 2014 by Sailaway487 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dread to think of the price for 14 nights though.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Nell Posted March 15, 2014 #98 Share Posted March 15, 2014 This is great info, Sailaway. Thanks so much for all your efforts, If the Celebration is going to Trieste from Venice then that should mean a late sail from Venice given the short distance to be covered, allowing people to have more time to spend in Venice :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
