mrlevin Posted April 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) Usually, there is advance notification and chance to advance reserve Grand Voyages; however, today there are five new Grand Voyages available for booking. I guess we are going to have to research quickly and get our booking(s) made. Marc PS Excluding of current voyages also became default view on Find a Cruise today, too.

Mike Moore Posted April 19, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Fear not @mrlevin - today is the first day of the pre-registration window, just as we have done in the past. Notification of that will be going out later this morning. Reservations will open May 3rd, so you have plenty of time to research. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlevin Posted April 19, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Mike, thanks; will the second portion of the Grand Cultural on Mariner (1 Oct 25) Barcelona to Barcelona for 34 days also be a Grand Voyage or at least sold as a single trip?

Three flights a day from Paris and flights from most other European capital cities; don't see how they could find 600 business class seats. I am as confused as you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishwitchy Posted April 19, 2023 #9 Share Posted April 19, 2023 All good with me, spending 32 days on the ship, was past my limit. More power to you all that love lots of time on the ship! If I could get off for a week and get back on, that would be great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwaj girl Posted April 19, 2023 #10 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Looks like optionsvia FRA, ZRH and others. Double connections from our US non-standard hometown but definitely do-able. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charltonkerry Posted April 21, 2023 #11 Share Posted April 21, 2023 After the misadventures of our grand spice route cruise last autumn through to mid January this year where all the ports in New Zealand were missed for well documented reasons. We have decided to try again to see New Zealand so have advanced reserved a suite on the grand Asian exploration departing Auckland 12th January 2026. Thought I should warn everyone just in case you want to cancel or not book as lightening can strike twice.😀😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrlevin Posted May 4, 2023 Author #13 Share Posted May 4, 2023 We are booked Barcelona to Sydney. A bit disappointed to learn about the $500 per person NON-REFUNDABLE (i.e., no longer a future cruise credit) cancellation penalty for the new Grand Voyages. We now have three Grand Voyages and five other cruises booked on Regent; I sure hope the market doesn't tank. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize they don't want people booking these big cruises on a whim, but still, making it transferrable once would still make it much more palatable.
