Previous port before Darwin is Airlie Beach - QLD ports had a bit more info there, including the MMSI number

Previous port, not next port

It’s looking like Ovation will do a 5 night cruise to Hong Kong after the transit to Singapore.

It’s looking like Anthem in Sydney and Voyager in Brisbane for the 25-26 season .

 

But there’s a couple of Radiance class in Alaska in 2025   ,which one could turn up ??? . That’s a bit of a long shot there though,Cheryl.

That will make a nice change, can we assume Voyager through Singapore and Anthem via the Pacific?

We are talking late 2025, but if Voyager is coming via Europe they will need to have resumed cruising through the Red Sea for Singapore to be included. I wonder if they will announce a plan B itinerary or a ship shuffle from the get-go.

Geoff, If the Red Sea is still a no go, could they run it via South Africa directly to Brisbane, as an alternative (maybe non rev)?

Voyager from leaving Rome to Brisbane has 6 weeks unaccounted for . So maybe around Africa?

Should have been more specific and said Asia...or that way.

I think that would be Plan B for sure Michael. I just wonder if that plan B will become Plan A when they announce the Brisbane season. The relocation would be harder to sell, but they don't have to spend a year wondering if they have to make late changes.

 

Dec 7th would remain for Darwin, then onto Brisbane. The key to the puzzle would be a booking in Freo, but there is nothing there for now. An exotic itinerary with possible inclusions of Cape Town - Durban or Port Louis - Male - Singapore - Darwin - Brisbane itinerary could still be possible.

I thought you may be hoping for a Singapore to Brisbane repo cruise. Hopefully everyone starts to see eye to eye and that is still possible.

Putting a Radiance Ship on Brisbane 25/26 would make more sense. It could even do a lap or 2 of Oz.

Aren't 2 Radiance class ships still not allocated to a region after the AK season?

That would rule out bringing a couple of ships through the Suez Canal.

I think one was going to Tampa and the other Galveston/ New Orleans. That could change easily.

Wish we could get a Radiance class ship, but Voyager will be ok. Definitely no to Anthem for me. Wait and see I guess!

Does anyone know why Brilliance and Serenade are going to Yorkeys Knob and not Cairns?

They were originally on the Cairns list.

Brilliance is done in QLD, and I don't know why she was at Yorkeys on her previous call. Perhaps it costs more money to dock.

 

I don't know why Serenade isn't docking either. It has shown as being docked on the tracking sites, but has been showing as Yorkeys on the QLD ports pages for some months now. I can't recall if she was initially booked to dock or not. Extreme tides would be the only physical restriction.

The only reason I could think is the tide ?  They can get big tidal movements around there.

Or Royal is just to tight .

Im looking at Ovation’s repo after next season. Apparently after Singapore it does a 5 night to Hong Kong. Have you seen any details of that cruise and where it stops?
