Sovereign in South America

[Plato123]

The Sovereign seems to be in South America but I can not find anywhere to be able to book a cruise on its South America sailings, nor any information on these sailings.  Anyone know how or why?

[Downdie]

I suspect that the Sovereign is chartered by a travel company probably in Brazil that only sells in their their own market. In the 80’s and 90’s Regent Holidays (Transat I think) used to charter The Greek ships Triton and Bolero from one of the Greek lines for the winter season in the Carribean and sell them in Canada only with charter flights included to a Carribean departure port.

[Plato123]

We just got off the Monarch and after asking the Captain about this he said that the ship is "leased" to CVC Brasil for that market.He also indicated that Pullmantur plans to expand their fleet to seven over the next few years and expects that as new cruise facilities open up on the west side of the Panama Canal and other places , Pullmantur will be offering cruises on the west side of South America too.
