If it is like 2024 and 2025 there will be a 4 day sailings to Halifax and back in May, June and July.

 

The real Canada / NE cruises start late August or early September

Thanks when will RCL list those?

Given that the Icon?, will probably still be priced very high, do you think they will keep another less expensive ship in Galveston?

What I'm wondering is if they're gonna do another ship from Galveston with those 9 to 11 day runs like the Jewel has going on? DW starts a new job Sep 30 so getting that sort of time off right away isn't possible, but '25-'26 in the winter would work really well.

Brisbane, Australia - Port Bookings (Correct as of 18/09/24)

Lots of new calls added for Voyager OTS, beginning in October 2026 and ending in March 2027. It looks like Voyager potentially could be staying pacific side. However, there are currently no scheduled calls for January 2027. This could potentially allow time for dry-dock, if one is due.

But where does Voyager go 28 December 2026 to 19 February 2027?

Navigator & Voyager will be due for a dry dock also during this season. Is Navigator working the first part and Voyager the 2nd?

Or is it a split deployment for Voyager with Melbourne or Auckland? 
Time will tell.

Hard to believe there won’t be a ship during the peak period when fares are highest.  My guess is they are still finalising details.

So what is Liberty doing between late June & mid September 2026?  Back to Cape Liberty, NJ for a short season there? Anyone have a clue as I'm wondering what ships will be in NJ in summer 2026.

I'd like to know that too. 

Also what ship will do NE Can in Sept 2026.

It has been mentioned onboard to passengers who have posted here in the past that Liberty will be heading over to Europe early in April of 2026 to finally get amplified.  I'm assuming she'll be doing summer sailings over there following it before heading back to Florida in October 2026 for Caribbean sailings.

Voyager had a drydock at the start of 2022, so Jan 2027 would be the right time for another one.

NJ appears likely to have Symphony and Independence for summer 2026.

I'd love it if Independence did the September 2026 NE Canada itinerary.  If anyone gets that info I'll be watching for it.

Every 2.5 to 3 years on ships over 20 years. 
Voyager back in dry dock in 3 weeks.

Geoff Royal Deployment is great for changing minds!

My guesses are based on the current Brisbane Port Bookings going live.

Yeah I get it.  Just saying I think they will fill that 6 week gap but they haven’t finalised the arrangements yet.
