ccruzer123 Posted March 16, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2020 We have a May 2020 cruise on Explorer. Have been following port closures in Europe, beginning to think if our cruise does sail Regent would have to change the itinerary to accommodate these closures. With many Mediterranean, Baltic & Canadian port closures wondering where Regent cruises might sail the months of May & June? Thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMARINER Posted March 16, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Given that most of the world is in "lock down" until mid May (8 more weeks), I think that it is optimistic to think they will be back sailing anytime in May. Once the curve is flattens sufficiency for the social lifestyle to return to normal, I would expect that all the Ports would reopen and pretty much the same time. Personally I don't think it will happen before July. Hope I am wrong. J 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Taxman Posted March 16, 2020 #3 Share Posted March 16, 2020 JMariner - I hope you are wrong too, but I suspect you won’t be. Early to mid- July would be my guess, based on the apparent slowdown of the virus in China and South Korea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelcat2 Posted March 17, 2020 #4 Share Posted March 17, 2020 One of Regent's new itineraries (for May) is Athens to Athens which includes an overnight in Istanbul. We couldn't resist the itinerary and are in the midst of booking (it will take a couple of weeks since our FCC has to be calculated, etc.). We would rather have something booked and then have it cancelled than wait and find no availability in the suite categories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseluv Posted March 17, 2020 #5 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I wouldnt contemplate any cruises in that time frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Taxman Posted March 17, 2020 #6 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Tc - which ship is that -Voyager? Based on the current position, as reported, Greece is in a comparatively good position, but I think the biggest problem will be getting there and back. Not a bad idea though, given the insurance position with regard to FCC being time limited as discussed on another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Taxman Posted March 17, 2020 #7 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Further to my earlier post, Greece has now effectively closed its borders to non-residents who will have to quarantine for 14 days on arrival. TC I see this is due to be on Splendor. It’s a long way from SAN Diego to Athens, good luck Edited March 17, 2020 by Belfast Taxman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess is that if Explorer is sailing in May or June it will be in the Caribbean. Just my two confederate sense, Marc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
