tamfoxy 8 Posted March 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I have heard that Thomson cruises intend to sail from Newcastle again in summer 2017 but cannot find any information on their web site. Does anyone know if this is true or is it just a rumour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted March 27, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I have seen cruises that visit Newcastle but never one that started there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted March 27, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 27, 2016 If it is not on their website, it is probably just wishful thinking on someone's part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julessmiles Posted March 27, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I have seen cruises that visit Newcastle but never one that started there. Fred Olsen & CMV start their cruises from Newcastle and Thomson also have done in the past & will be in 2017 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzseeka Posted March 27, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 27, 2016 We've sailed several times from Newcastle in the past. Good port, easy access - good to see Thomson back again to give more options for those living so far away from Southampton. We liked the Harwich departures too.

My first cruise was from Harwich on Celebration, happy memories :) I really like Celebration, but not the single cabins :( I will have to try persuading them to let me book a double cabin for single occupancy, even if it means paying 100% single supplement.

Does anyone know when the prices will be released for the ex-Newcastle cruises, the repositioning ones in particular. Or will we have to wait until 21st April? With Fred Olsen and Thomson leaving from Newcastle there is so much to choose from now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy v Posted March 29, 2016 #14 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Sometimes the night before on c/deals. Or it used to be when that was the main booking site, maybe not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalsign Posted March 29, 2016 #15 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I understand you can't book these cruises on line as we all know there is no option for cruise only on the new bl...y awful website and my Thomson TA has confirmed this and says they can only be booked with them They will be available on 21st April and not even at Future Cruises onboard and unfortunately or fortunately I will be mid Atlantic so my sister is going to get the prices and text them to me so I can confirm whether I want to go ahead for her to book not ideal but they seem very very popular and I don't want to miss out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakanne1 Posted March 30, 2016 #16 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Guess I'll just have to wait till morning of 21st April. Going away on 23rd so need to make a quick decision too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy v Posted March 30, 2016 #17 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I was going to ask if they will be in the brochure but as you can't get hold of one of these for about 2 weeks I won't bother!;):rolleyes::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
