No March cruises on Navigator from LA 2024?

[ValerieJo]

I've been looking at doing a Mexico cruise from LA in 2024.   I see January, February and April cruises listed.  Nothing for March, which would actually be my preferred month to cruise.   Anyone know why there are no cruises listed for March 2024?  Dry Dock maybe?  Don't think all of the cruises would be chartered?

 

Thanks.

It could be. Now that she's over 20 years old, she needs two of them every 5 years and with the last one being last July, the timing is about right.

Feb 16 to April 12th, Just shy of 2 months.  Like Biker stated I would agree with a drydock.  Wondering if they will be bale to do it on the west coast or if she will have to travel somewhere which would explain the extra time

I was hoping that they would do a seven day Mexico cruise leaving on April 6 or seventh and stopping in Mazatlan on April 8 during the eclipse. Mazatlan is in the path of totality.

I just looked up that Drydock...Vigor

 

Their website stated their drydock is 290m, Radiance is 293m but that is probably above the waterline.  Navigator is 311m.  Not sure if she would be able to fit.

Other than Vigor in Portland, I don't recall any other drydock facilities for cruise ships in the West Coast.

 

Not sure if she has to sail transpacific to go to Singapore. One-way journey requires around 3 weeks, so it is still feasible.

 

Voyager Class vessels are unable to transit through the Panama Canal even in the new locks, right?
