We’re on the back to back Athens to Mumbai too - the reality is no one knows what the situation will be by then - all we can do is hope for the best. We’re planning on it happening so making flight bookings etc (all refundable of course)

 

Then the challenge is when do Crystal make a call on it - should it be late to allow more time or early so we can make alternate choices?

if the red sea hostile conditions would be status quo in December, I would prefer crystal to reconfigure the voyage vs simply canceling it, they have plenty of time to plan for this outcome.

Then following a successful and incident free transit of the Red Sea and Suez Canal one wonders if Crystal will apply the same logic to the reverse itinerary later in the year.  Symphony travels from Athens to Abu Dhabi in December with sought after stops in Safaga ( 2 days for Luxor) and Aqaba (for Petra), with several Cruise Critic members traveling all the way to Mumbai.  For those on the 32 night itinerary the routing would certainly be different if the early part of segment 1 has to be revised.  Depending on the situation in the region that may very well be likely. Watching closely to see how this all plays out.

I'm on that voyage, any thoughts on possibilities ?

After many many voyages with another luxury cruise line my wife and I are will be trying Silverseas, if anyone wants to message me with advice on, tipping, dining options, excursions, ships and more... it would be greatly appreciated chatting. Thank You
