GOQ Posted June 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I am guessing the new cruise brochures will be released next month, many other cruise line have published their summer 2024 cruise itineraries months ago, the last Marella brochure ends June 2023. Prior to Covid Marella had winter cruises from November to March to the Far East. Departing from Naples and ending up in India, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam etc. They had 6 ships then and 4 now, however with Voyager joining the fleet summer next year I hope they might restart the Asia cruise itineraries. Hopefully they might be in the next brochure, maybe November 2023, I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOQ Posted June 30, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) I've just received an email from CC directing me to their report outlining details for Voyager, Canada destinations for Discovery and Singapore destinations for Discovery 2 in winter 23/24. Hopefully the website will update next month and possibly a new brochure will be released. Apparently Voyager will be a bit different internally from Explorer and Explorer 2 with lots of new bars and restaurants, thank goodness I was getting to become a bit bored with the same old/same old Explorer. Discovery will be doing 2 week Canada cruises from October 2023 and Discovery 2 will be based in Singapore. http://click.email.cruisecritic.co.uk/?qs=642b42f810f6a074696477ffbade1f9a993edc56bea5eb5d30deb54eb445b8007a088ddcec0377dbf94f80fb794127b557b781c92e7b3c30 Edited June 30, 2022 by GOQ Added link address 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pennib Posted July 10, 2022 #13 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Hi all. We have done several Dubai fly cruises and been to Persian gulf, Bahrain, most of Far East and used P&O, Cunard, and MSC. all excellent and Dubai is a good transit point if you don’t want a mega long flight. happy cruising 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOQ Posted July 21, 2022 Author #20 Share Posted July 21, 2022 The site is working for me and is showing a number of Asian cruises starting from 23rd November 2023. It's on my bucket list to travel through the Suez canal and in previous years these cruises have started from Naples then traversed the Suez canal onwards to Singapore etc. However the 2023 cruises seem to start at Aqaba ???

Pensioncruiser Posted July 22, 2022 #23 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Just wondering if they are now allowing passengers on deck when transiting the canal. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
