time2cruise1 Posted May 4, 2014 #126 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Sorry Jim I should have said I was looking at January 2015. :) The June announcement would be at about 6 months which is why I was hoping NCL would offer a perk for those sailing in the 2015 season. Norwegian Sun will return to South America for the first time since 2010, sailing 14-day South American voyages between Santiago (Valparaiso), Chile and Buenos Aires, Argentina from November 2015 to April 2016. Ports of call include Puerto Montt, Chile; Puerto Chacabuco, Chile; Punta Arenas, Chile; Ushuaia, Argentina; Stanley, Falkland Islands; Puerto Madryn, Argentina; and Montevideo, Uruguay. Guests on board will also enjoy a scenic cruise through the Chilean Fjords, Strait of Magellan and around Cape Horn. Exactly January 2015 the Sun is in Tampa. First January in SA is 2016 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a good laugh at myself. Thanks Jim:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time2cruise1 Posted May 6, 2014 #129 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Meanwhile back at the ranch...still nothing on South America on the website. Rumors now have June as the possible date for information. I wonder if NCL will give some type of bonus since they are putting the date less than 1 year out which might mean no early booking perks. I am really curious aout that one. The website is ready they just need to plug in the cruises. Hotels and pricing available now. http://www.ncl.com/cruise-destination/south_america/overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only I had tons of $$ and could take that much time off work. In the text in the Overview, it says the Sun and the Pearl will be sailing South America. Hmmm.

TrumpyNor Posted May 6, 2014 #132 Share Posted May 6, 2014 In the text in the Overview, it says the Sun and the Pearl will be sailing South America. Hmmm. I didn't notice that at first glance -thank you for pointing that out. :) It might be that after the Sun has done her three 11 days Mexican Riviera cruises from San Diego before moving further south, then Pearl will take over the Mexican Riviera cruise....? Anyway - fantastic that there is finally some "movement" on ncl.com regarding the new South America cruise, hopefully it will be ready for booking within a couple of days.

polySeraph Posted May 6, 2014 #138 Share Posted May 6, 2014 This morning while I was on the NCL website looking for something else, I stumbled upon a press release (click HERE) announcing that the Epic will be doing 2 Iberian cruises in the fall of 2015. The first (6 days) will embark in Barcelona and disembark in Southhampton and the second (7 days) will embark in Southhampton and disembark in Barcelona. Sandwiched between those 2 one-way itineraries the Epic will go into drydock in France. An Iberian cruise has been on my bucket list for a while now and I'm rather interested in these itineraries. Maybe adding a few pre-cruise days in the UK and a few post-cruise days in Barcelona or possibly a B2B with a Mediterranean cruise. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting that the cruises are now available. We are all booked on the Sun. NCL put the Pearl's 10 day partial PC transit cruises in the South America destinations. I guess because she goes to Cartagena, but not through the Panama Canal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet I took a peek at ours without alot of searching and it was around $2400 one-way to Buenos Aires and about $2300 from Chile to home for the both of us. The DH said he wants to wait until he returns home from his birthday trip in June before we decide and really look at pricing and specials. Meanwhile I am so excited for those who have booked and ready to go! I hope you get to enjoy the cruise too.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
