48 Day 2016 Emerald Southampton to SYD

[ccrain]

Mystery solved. Now its official how the Emerald will get to SYD in late 2016. A 48 day cruise from Southampton to SYD in September 2016. Eastern Bound.

 

She will fit in the Suez, but will she go around South Africa given the turmoil in region?

 

Either way, this will be the first of the Grand Class to go East Bound via SouthWest and SouthEast Asia.

 

This would hit almost everything on our "must do" list in one cruise. Now that is very cool!

[paul929207]

Sounds like a wonderful trip. About a year and a half ago we sailed the Ocean Princess from Rome to Sydney, also 48 days.

 

They need to make up their mind on the route (if there is any question) soon. To go around Africa would mean skipping most of the planned ports and substituting many sea days

[ccrain]

But I just realized, this would be an around the world trip for most of us in the US.

 

Good thing I bought those extra FCCs!

[paul929207]

Ours in 2013 was sold as two legs. Rome to Singapore and then to Sydney. So only 2 FCC and Shareholder OBC

[chrysalis]

Post #4 here suggests that she is heading to the Med in late September, so that likely means the Suez routing...

I am not sure, but I read OP as speculation about going around the Cape of Good Hope.

We would prefer a routing via South Africa.

Unless something very unexpected happens that would threaten safe passage through the canal, that will be the route taken.

 

Any ports that might have safety concern are either not on the itinerary or will be dropped from the itinerary if the need arises.

 

There will be military protection when sailing through the Red Sea and passengers will be given instructions on what to do and what not to do when it that area and if an emergency occurs.

o Outside decks may be closed from sunset to sunrise

o Those with windows to the outside must keep the curtains closed from sunset to sunrise.

o Venues with windows that cannot be covered (example, gym) will close by sundown.

o There will be 24-hour security personnel scanning in all directions

Oh, I thought it was coming via Singapore, Darwin. Sydney. I wonder if its via Fremantle to drop people off then stop in Melbourne, then Sydney. Makes sort of sense.

She is showing in the Sydney ports schedule as arriving November 15 so i guess departure would be around 29 September .....the Perth/Fremantle port schedule does not yet show her....the Darwin one does....so who knows... guess time will tell.......

 

 

I am liking the itinerary which ever way she goes.... just emailed our personal princess rep with the information.....guessing she probably doesn't have it yet....so slow here in Australia.......looking forward to a rollcall start up ;):p:D:D

Surprised at only one port in India, but three in Thailand. Looks like lots of sea days as well. And on one of our favorite ships.

 

This one will take a lot of research and planning - OCPD^3....

Only thing is that pesky Indian visa. Do you still need to get that yourself or does the ship do it. Shame there is no port stop for Isarel. I would have liked to see some of that area. But understand the area is viotile at times. Also go Egypt stop. No biggie for me as I've been to Egypt twice. Petra - been there twice. Once spend two days exploring it all. Would love to go back. The hike up to the top monastery is worth it all the 700 or so steps up.

 

The Dubai overnight is interesting. I haven't been to Dubai except for transit. I wonder what excurisions they offer. Now I know there is good gold souks to visa if you like that sort of thing.
