Curious why your Junior Suite was a $1000 deposit and not like the $500 deposit that we have on our Owners Suite for Wonder that we most likely are going to cancel? Someone is going to be super excited to get our OS.

I really dont remember why we paid $1000 deposit but happy to say we received our full refund to amex yesterday!

Our 11 day Voyager had an overnight, So we get a few more stops. Laura wasn't thrilled with St Pete anyway, so a win for her. We lost a sea day, but added 3 ports.

I do like the new itinerary!

John&LaLa .... have you been checking the Voyager Aug 10 roll call?  We definitely need to revive it! 

 

 

I'd forgotten about it. Will stop by

On the July 24th, no refund for the SPB shorex.  No excursions for Riga or Gdańsk are available yet either.

I can't comment on Gdansk but I believe in Riga the ship docks about a 10 minute walk from the old town. You could easily spend a day exploring it and the Art Nouveau district on your own.

 

There is also a beach nearby, Jumala I think it is, which is a quick train journey away if you were docked over night and had two days.. We were there the end of February so too cold to visit the beach , we had snow and rivers were frozen but its a great place and the people are really friendly.

In Riga only smaller ships up to Vision Class size could dock in the City Centre, bigger ones dock about 30 min outside with a long shuttle bus transfer. In Gdansk you dock in a different city called Gdynia which is about an hour away by Taxi or bus transfer

Voyager will be docking in Riga center, - following from http://www.latecruisenews.com/2022/03/08/riga-latvia-is-ready-for-new-and-redirected-calls-record-number-of-cruise-ship-calls-is-expected-this-year-at-the-port-of-riga/

 

Above site states:

"Twelve vessels plan to visit the port of Riga for the first time, including the largest of them – the 15-deck ship Voyager of the Seas of the cruise company Royal Caribbean International. It is 311.1 meters long and can carry more than 3,600 passengers at a time.

The first cruise ship in the port of Riga this season is expected on April 13. It will be the German liner Hamburg of the German cruise company Plantours Kreuzfahrten with about 400 passengers on board.

It is expected that this year we will be able to see bigger ships in Riga than before, and good news are that 25 cruise ships plan to stay in the port of Riga longer – two days. The highest number of expected calls is from the US and German cruise companies."

Where are you finding this info? I can still book Baltic cruises on the NCL site.

Oh I hope not, planning this trip has been an evolving nightmare, cancellation of the cruise would be heartbreaking

i might be wrong but I thought all cruise ships docked at the ferry!cruise port just outside of the city centre.

 

Its  a 15 min walk from there to the old town at most.

This would be good and it might have changed. We docked far outside with Serenade some years ago.

MSC Grandiosa has also been changed from Baltic cruises to Norway for the 2022 season.

Nice Itinerary inc changes, wish was going on this Sailing

REally have my fingers crossed that Voyager isn't moved as I just moved my Baltic cruise back one week and have booked flights on Norwegian Air Line, which I'm not sure I'd be able to move.  I already moved my Ryanair return flight once. 

It's worth noting that NCL had two Baltic ships and still have the Dawn sailing whereas RCI just has Voyager.  I did do a dummy booking on my cruise and there were very few balconies left.  So hope that's the same on the other Baltic cruises for the summer.

But rates for all Voyager 2022 Baltic sailings are still crazy low.
